Retrograde jejunogastric intussusception is a well-recognized, rare, but potentially life threatening long-term complication of gastrojejunostomy. Diagnosis of this condition is difficult in most cases. We report on such a patient who presented with overt upper gastrointestinal bleeding. The complication developed thirty years after the primary surgery without history of acute upper abdominal pain in spite of a long segment of gangrenous jejunum inside the stomach. Resection and refashioning of the gastrojujenostomy was performed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
