“…Ultrasound is also an option, with the diagnosis made when the classic doughnut or target sign is demonstrated [ 2 ]. A more recent described variation of the latter is the crescent-in-doughnut sign consisting of concentric alternating hyperechoic and hypoechoic rings caused by the mucosal and muscularis layers of the bowels, and the submucosal layer, and the crescent being due to the involvement of mesentery as the intussusceptum [ 11 ]. Lastly, and surpassing the limitations of the previous modalities, CT offers the most sensitive imaging option [ 6 ], as previously described.…”

Intussusception is a rare condition diagnosed in adults, with few cases reported as idiopathic. It is defined as the invagination of an intestinal segment into another adjacent one, due to the presence of a lead point, or in some cases, without identifiable causative lesions. The presentation is non-specific, even with careful evaluation, and most of the time, the diagnosis is made during surgery. We hereby present the case of a 73-year-old woman with idiopathic intussusception who presented in the emergency room. She was taken to the operating theatre, where intestinal resection was performed. Few cases of true idiopathic intestinal intussusception in adults are seen, and literature on this topic remains scarce. We discuss diagnostic and therapeutic options and do a brief review of the literature.

“…The clinical features of double simultaneous intussusception mainly consist of abdominal pain, abdominal distension, vomiting, and bloody stool, similar to common intussusception to some extent. 18 , 19 However, some other concomitant symptoms should not be ignored, such as diarrhoea, poor feeding, irritability, and lethargy, especially in infants. The proximal and distal intestines passing through a patent vitellointestinal duct is a special type of prolapse of double intussusception, which is rare with unambiguous features.…”

Intussusception is common in children. Double simultaneous intussusception is a peculiar variety of intussusception with only 14 previously reported cases. We report a unique case of a child who suffered from double simultaneous intussusception with two lead points (Meckel’s diverticulum and intestinal duplication). The patient was successfully treated with manual reduction along with resection of Meckel’s diverticulum and intestinal duplication. The child recovered well.
