Background: We are reporting three cases of adult intussusception that presented to our department in the duration of one year.Case series: Two out of three patients were female. The age ranged from 19-50 years. The clinical presentation was varied and only one patient presented with intestinal obstruction. An abdominal mass was detected in two of the patients. Various diagnostic modalities were utilized to identify the cause. The 'target lesion' typical of intussusception depicted ileocolic, ileocecal or enteric intussusception. The details about the management and the underlying cause are discussed in the article.
