Ileocecal intussusception in the adult population: case series of two patients
The western journal of emergency medicine, 2010
Intussusception is a condition found primarily in the pediatric population. In the adult population, however, intussusception is usually due to a pathological process, with a higher risk of bowel obstruction, vascular compromise, inflammatory changes, ischemia, and necrosis. Radiographic and sonographic evidence can aid in the diagnosis. Surgical intervention involving resection of affected bowel is the standard of care in adult cases of intussusception. We present the case of a 21-year-old female who presented to the Emergency Department with diffuse cramping abdominal pain and distention. Workup revealed ileocecal intussusception, with a prior appendectomy scar serving as the lead point discovered during exploratory laparotomy. We also present the case of a 66-year-old male, who presented with one week of intermittent lower abdominal pain associated with several episodes of nausea and vomiting. Workup revealed ileocolic intussusception secondary to adenocarcinoma of the right colo...

BACKGROUND Bowel intussusception in adults remains a rare and constant diagnostic challenge for surgeons. It has an incidence of around 2-3 new cases per million per year, and its primary cause is benign or malignant neoplasms of the small bowel and colon. This report aims to outline the importance of high clinical suspicion regarding intussusception in adults presenting with abdominal pain in the emergency department. Case report: This is a retrospective review of three cases of adult ileocecal intussusception that were treated in a single surgical department in three years (2015-2018). All patients underwent right hemicolectomy in keeping with the principles of surgical oncology. Each patient had a different clinical presentation, while, in terms of the underlining pathology, the first had an adenocarcinoma of the ascending colon, the second an adenocarcinoma of the ileocecal valve, and the third one an inflammatory fibroid polyp of the ileocecal valve, also known as Vanek's ...
Management for recurrent ileocolic intussusception in adults caused by a high-grade dysplastic polyp
International journal of innovation and scientific research, 2021
Intussusception is the penetration of a segment of bowel into a more distal segment. It is frequent in children and considered an unusual condition in adults. We report a case of a 65-year old woman with acute intussusception secondary to ileal polyp diagnosed by abdominal CT scan and confirmed by surgery. The patient underwent a bloc ileocecal resection with respecting the oncological rules.

Introduction: Intussusception is a clinical condition caused by the “telescopic” prolapse of a proximal part of the bowel into a distal one. In the pediatric age it is a common disease with idiopathic etiology. In adult intussusception is a rare condition and symptoms rarely are acute and are often non-specific, causing a delayed diagnosis. Clinical Report: This report presents the case of a 72-years old woman complaining recurrent abdominal pain with sub-occlusive episodes, who was eventually diagnosed with intussusception caused by an ileal adenocarcinoma, after one year of recurring symptoms. Discussion: Adult intussusception is a rare condition often caused by an underlying benign or malignant disease. The difficult to recognize specific symptoms leads often to a diagnostic delay and in many cases a correct diagnosis is made only during the surgery. Conclusion: Adult intussusception is an infrequent condition that can hide a malignant disease. For this reason surgery should be c...
Adult intestinal intussusception — A report of 2 cases and literature review
Open Medicine, 2014
Every five years or so a case of adult small bowel intussusception secondary to pathologies such as inflammatory fibroid polyp (IFP) appears in English literature. Likewise rare cases of adult colonic intussusception due to a tumour have been reported including, more recently, their successful management by laparoscopic approach. We describe two such cases, one each of small bowel and large bowel intussusception, due to IFP and caecal tumour respectively and discuss their management. We also suggest role of combined laparoscopy/endoscopy in selected cases of colonic resections.
Adult ileocolic intususception: a case report
International Surgery Journal, 2017
Intussusception is defined as the pathology in which a segment of intestine telescopes into the adjoining intestinal lumen. Ileocolic accounts for 75% of all cases of intussusception. The average age of affected adults is between 50 and 60 years old and it occurs more often in women. The higher percentage of intussusception in adults (65%) occurs due to malignant or benign neoplasms. Appendix is part of intussusception of commonest ileocolic type but appendix as lead point for intussusception is rare. Patient details were collected by patient's IPD file. Complete detailed history, patient vitals, hemogram, ABO, with X-ray Abd erect, USG abdomen and CECT abdomen was done. Post-OP patient was followed by USG review. 60-year-old female diagnosed and operated as for ileocolic intussusception with appendix as lead point. Ileo transverse anastomosis was performed with hemicolectomy involving the terminal ileum along with caecum and ascending colon. Post op patient did well passed stools on 5 th day. Intussusception is a pathology in which a segment of intestine telescopes into the adjoining intestinal lumen causing intestinal obstruction. Intussusception are two types antegrade and retrograde. CT scan and colonoscopy, which provide an accurate diagnosis, allowed the best surgical choice in the hands of an experienced surgeon.
Adult Ileocecal Intussusception: A Case Report and Review
The Indonesian Journal of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Digestive Endoscopy, 2019
Intussusception is a rare cause of bowel obstruction in adult patients, it represents for five percent of all age intussusception. Several different aspects were found between adult and pediatric intussusception. We report a case of 39-year-old male with bowel obstruction due to ileocecal intussusception, which firstly diagnosed as acute appendicitis. Unlike pediatric intussusception which usually manifest as classical triad signs, unspecific symptoms of adult intussusception may become diagnostic challenge. Imaging modalities such as plain abdominal radiograph and ultrasonography may aid the preoperative diagnosis in the rural hospital setting. Prompt management which involved surgical approach is warranted to prevent further complications.
A rare case of idiopathic ileocolic intussusception in an adult
2021
- Dow University of Health Sciences, Karachi, Pakistan Abstract Intussusception is an invagination of one segment of the bowel into its adjoining segment. In children, the cause is usually benign, while in adults it is secondary to a mass lesion. Here we present a case in which the preoperative diagnosis of intussusception secondary to colonic mass was made, but no definitive cause was identified by histopathology. A 30-year-old male presented with abdominal pain, altered bowel habits, weight loss, loose motions, bleeding per rectum, and vomiting. The abdomen was distended, firm, mildly tender, and guarded. A vague mass of 15 x 10 cm was palpated on the left upper quadrant. X-ray and ultrasound showed dilated small bowel. A computed tomography scan suggested ileoileal intussusception. Colonoscopy showed a growth at 15 cm of the anal verge. Exploratory laparotomy was performed, showing the presence of ileocolic intussusception with two large perforations. Subtotal colectomy with ile...
An atypical presentation of adult ileocolic intussusception
Open Access Surgery, 2010
Adult intussusception is a rare condition usually associated with a lead point. However, 8%-20% of cases are idiopathic. We describe here the case of a 56-year-old Nigerian male who presented to the accident and emergency unit with features of acute intestinal obstruction. The findings at laparotomy were ileocolic intussusception without a lead point. A segment of the terminal ileum was nonviable. A right hemicolectomy with ileocolic anastomosis was performed, and the resulting specimen sent for histologic examination which confirmed no extra-or intraluminal lesion. Two years of postoperative evaluation was normal. This report further reiterates the fact that adult intussusception could be idiopathic (without a lead point) and could present as acute intestinal obstruction. Early recognition is necessary to facilitate timely intervention before the onset of gangrene, so as to improve prognosis.
