INTRODUCTION Intussusception in adults is a rare cause of bowel obstruction. Endometriosis of the bowel is also a rare entity that can be the cause of bowel obstruction. Here, we report a rare case of intussusception secondary to endometriosis of the cecum. PRESENTATION OF CASE A 40-year-old woman presented to the hospital with a one-week history of intermittent epigastric pain. On physical e...

The median age presentation adults with intussusception sixth to seventh decade. In vast majority intussusceptions, there demonstrable inflammatory lesion or neoplasm that serves as lead point intussusception. However, up 20% cases are idiopathic. Neoplasms causing ...

Heterotopic pancreas is an uncommon developmental anomaly of upper gastrointestinal tract. Heterotopic pancreas tissue is very rarely found in ileum. Intussusception in children is usually idiopathic, but definitive aetiology can be established in 90% of adult cases. We are reporting a case of pancreatic heterotopia presenting as a lead point of ileo-ileal intussusception in a 1year 3month year...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess the frequency of clinical features and pathological lead points in recurrent intussusception, with a special focus on the risk factors that lead to recurrent intussusception. DESIGN This is a retrospective cohort study. A 5-year retrospective study was performed between January 2012 and July 2016 in the Children's Hospital of Soochow University, S...

UNLABELLED Adult intussusception is rare. The author is reporting a case of adult intussusception in a 60-year-old female inside of incisional hernia sac, acting as a lead point. The presentation was subacute intestinal obstruction. Ultrasonography was useful adjunct in diagnosis. The site for intussusception was jejunum. Intussusception was seen protruding into hernial sac with adhesions of gu...

We investigated the adenoviral etiology and seasonal epidemic trends in intussusception and each adenoviral subgroup. Also we confirmed whether we can use the adenovirus data of Acute Infectious Agents Laboratory Surveillance Report (AIALSR) as an epidemic predictor of intussusception. Patients with intussusception (n = 126), < 5 years old, were enrolled and matched by age and sex with controls...

BACKGROUND Intussusception is the most common cause of intestinal obstruction in infants and children. To date, no study has evaluated the ability of physicians to predict the likelihood of intussusception. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine the ability of pediatric physicians to predict intussusception in patients being evaluated for intussusception and to investigate whether certain cl...

ménétrier's disease is a rare cause of hypertrophic gastropathy that is usually confined to the gastric body and fundus. it is characterized by giant rugae, hypoalbuminemia, and foveolar hyperplasia. here we report the case of a 26-year-old woman who presented with epigastric pain, postparandial nausea-vomiting, and weight loss. paraclinic evaluation revealed hypoalbuminemia and hypochromic mic...

Appendiceal intussusception is an uncommon form of intussusception. Most of the literature regarding appendiceal intussusception discusses the colonoscopic diagnosis or surgical treatment of the condition. Sonographic findings have rarely been described. We present a case of preoperative sonographic diagnosis of appendiceal intussusception.
