Adult intussusception in Northern India

Abstract

Our series highlights a high frequency of a demonstrable cause of intussusception in a tropical country. Overall our results are similar to those reported from other countries. Resection of the involved bowel is recommended because of high incidence of underlying pathology.

Taking the Lead: A Case Report of a Leiomyoma Causing Duodeno-Duodenal Intussusception and Review of Literature

“…1 Presenting symptoms are classically described with the triad of abdominal pain, a palpable abdominal mass, and bloody stools, but all three are clinically found in less than 10% of the population with intussusception. 2 More commonly, patients present with nonspecific symptoms including intermittent abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and anemia. 3 Given the wide range of diseases with this constellation of symptoms, physicians must have a strong clinical suspicion to make the diagnosis.…”

“…4 Intussusception of the proximal small bowel, especially with the intussusceptum and intussuscipiens isolated to the duodenum, is a rare condition with only 16 reported cases in the literature occurring in 19 total patients (Table 1). 1,2,[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] Typically, the anatomic position of the duodenum in the retroperitoneal space and its fixed attachments in this region serve to prevent it from being susceptible to intussusception. However, this condition can occur due to a lead point such as a mass (90% of adults cases) 18 or secondary to congenital malrotation of the bowel, where the duodenum is more mobile, allowing the intussuception to occur.…”

À propos d’un cas d’invagination intestinale chez un patient porteur d’une maladie de Crohn méconnue

“…Néanmoins, elle peut se voir chez l'adulte où elle reste une entité rare puisqu'elle ne représente que 1 à 5 % des occlusions intestinales de l'adulte et 5 % de l'ensemble des invaginations [2][3][4].…”

“…Pathologie essentiellement de l'enfant, l'invagination intestinale reste rare chez l'adulte et ne représente que 5 % des occlusions intestinales de l'adulte [1,2].…”
