A 95-year-old Japanese woman presented to our hospital with intermittent vomiting and several episodes of melena. Abdominal computed tomography revealed intussusception of the gastric tumor into the duodenum. After endoscopic reduction, endoscopic ultrasonography identified a hypoechogenic lesion limited to the submucosal layer. Endoscopic resection was performed as a localized treatment for th...

Appendiceal intussusception is a very rare disease that is found in only 0.01% of patients who have undergone an appendectomy. Clinical symptoms vary but include acute appendicitis symptoms such as right lower quadrant abdominal pain or repetitive right lower quadrant crampy pain. Some patients are asymptomatic. Operative treatment is necessary to reduce an appendiceal intussusception in adults...

children that are half a year to 2 years old, but intestinal or colonic invagination is a rare disease in adults. Intussusception in adult patients represents 1% of patients with bowel obstruction and 5% of all intussusception. It is usually primary and benign in children intussusception and pneumatic or hydrostatic reduction of the intussusception is enough to treat the condition in 80% of the...

AIM The intestinal intussusception in the adult represent 1% of all occlusions. Organic causes are detectable in 90% of cases. Aim of this study is to discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic iter of adult intestinal intussusception with particular emphasis on role of laparoscopy. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively considered 10 cases of intussusception between January 2000 and January 20...

BACKGROUND Estimates of baseline incidence of childhood intussusception could help safety monitoring after the introduction of rotavirus vaccines. We studied the incidence of intussusception in Uzbekistan, a GAVI-fund eligible state in Central Asia. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed intussusception cases in children <2 years of age treated during 2004-2008 at 15 hospitals in the Bukhara reg...

Adult intussusception occurs infrequently and differs from childhood intussusception in its presentation, aetiology, and treatment. Diagnosis can be delayed because of its longstanding, intermittent, and non-specific symptoms and most cases are diagnosed at emergency laparotomy. With more frequent use of computed tomography in the evaluation of patients with abdominal pain, the condition can be...
