Although a leading cause of intestinal obstruction in children, intussusception accounts for <1% of all adult intestinal obstructions. Case report: We report a case of a 36-year lady who presented to us with recurrent colicky abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting for 5 months. CT scan and double balloon enteroscopy showed a polypoid mass in jejunal lumen. Patient underwent a laparoscopy which showed a jejuno-jenunal intussusception associated with jejunal mass for which resection and primary anastomoses was done. Conclusion: It presents with acute, chronic or intermittent nonspecific symptoms thus making its diagnosis a challenge.
