Adult intussusception is rare, accounting for only 5% of all intussusceptions, for which preoperative diagnosis is difficult. We herein report a preoperatively diagnosed case of adult intussusception caused by a small bowel lipoma. A 33-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with three weeks history of colicky epigastric pain. Computed tomography revealed thickening of the ileal wall suggest...

Background: Pneumatic reduction has become a therapeutic method for intussusception instead of surgery. It is more successful than barium reduction, but it depends on how much the operator is familiar with the method and equipment. Objective: Determine success rate and recurrent rate of intussusception and factors affecting outcome of pneumatic reduction in Thailand. Materials and methods: Fift...

A 4-month-old, intact male domestic short-hair cat was presented to Veterinary Hospital with an acuteonset of regurgitation and respiratory distress. Thoracic and abdominal radiographs identified a massconsisted of a heterogeneous mixture of soft tissue and gas densities between heart and craniodorsal part of the diaphragm that was shifted to the left.

INTRODUCTION Adult intussusception is a rare condition with a pathological lead point. Intraoperative reduction of adult intussusception can eliminate the need for extensive or invasive resection. We safely performed a manual laparoscopy-assisted intraoperative reduction that allowed functional preservation of tissue. PRESENTATION OF CASE A 70-year-old woman with dull right lumbar pain at reg...

Background: Intussusception is one of the most commonly encountered abdominal emergencies in children for which preferred treatment modality has always been non operative hydrostatic reduction. Recurrence a common concern after successful Adjuvant with pharmacological agents have considered to reduce chances recurrence.

In intussusception in early childhood, reduction by barium enema is the treatment of choice. In late cases when there is air and fluid distension of the small bowel on plain x-ray, barium enema is less useful. Generally 20-25% of childhood intussusception presents in this way. We have reviewed the experience of 65 intussusceptions at the Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children over the past 5 ...

INTRODUCTION Jejunogastric intussusception through a gastrojejunal stoma along with a jejunojejunal intussusception (intussusception within an intussusception) is a rare but serious complication of previous gastric surgery such as gastrojejunostomy and Billroth II gastrectomy. The incidence of which is less than 0.1%. CASE PRESENTATION An elderly male presented with an abdominal lump, diffuse...

Background: Accurate estimates of the baseline incidence of childhood intussusception could help safety monitoring after introduction of rotavirus vaccines. Therefore, we studied the incidence of intussusception in the state of Qatar. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed cases of intussusception in children younger than 14 years. Children were treated between 2002 and 2012 at a single hospital ...

Oral rotavirus vaccine was voluntarily withdrawn from the market after studies observed an increased risk of intussusception within 2 weeks after immunization. Concern has been raised that other orally administered vaccines, such as oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV), may also be associated with intussusception. In this 1990-1998 case-control study, the authors examined the association between OPV a...
