“…We thus judged the lead point to be the cecum. In adults, cecal intussusception based on cecal cancer (9), lipoma (10), mobile cecum (11), and double intestinal tract (12) has been reported; however, no such findings have been reported so far in children. Such a discordant result might be partly attributed to the fact that endoscopy is rarely performed in children.…”

Background: Ileocolic intussusception is the most common form of intussusception in children. Intussusception in the appendix or cecum without a lead point in a child is very rare and was found with total colonoscopy (TCS) and computed tomography. Case Presentation: A 9 year-old boy was admitted to our hospital with fever, vomiting, and two episodes of bloody diarrhea. Inflammatory bowel disease was suspected; TCS was performed and revealed intussusception whose advanced region was in the cecum. The diagnosis was idiopathic cecum intussusception. This case was unusual in that intussusception had occurred at a young age but without lead point; in addition, the intussusception had also occurred at the tip of the cecum. The intussusception was safely reduced by endoscopic procedures, and after improvement in the vomiting, the patient was safely discharged and has had no bloody stools since. Conclusion: We demonstrated cecal intussusception without lead point observed on TCS in a child.

“…Colonic duplication is very rarely observed in adulthood [ 3 ]. With an estimated incidence of alimentary tract duplication of 1/10000 live births [ 1 , 2 ], 80% of the cases are discovered in the first two years of life [ 3 ]. Therefore, it is not surprising that surgeons may not encounter even a single adult case in their career.…”

“…Kim et al first reported in 2014, a case of 19-year-old patient with an ileocolic intussusception from an ileal duplication in an adult [ 11 ]. However, the first well-described case involving specifically a cecal duplication cyst leading to intussusception in a 24-year-old patient was published by Al-Shaibi et al [ 3 ]. A second case with a cecal duplication cyst, which occurred in a 63-year-old patient, was recently published, but the authors suggested that the intussusception was triggered by COVID-19 infection [ 5 ].…”

“…It is estimated to occur in about 1/10000 live births [ 1 , 2 ]. More than 80% of these cases are observed before the age of 2 years [ 3 ]. A very low proportion of patients attain adulthood with a “silent” duplication [ 4 ].…”

Cecal duplication is a rare congenital malformation and majority of the cases are discovered in the first years of life. Ileocolic intussusception is also a rare situation encountered in adults. A 19-year-old female presented with acute abdominal pain and bowel occlusion in relation with an ileocecal intussusception. She underwent an emergent laparotomy and ileocecal resection. A cecal duplication cyst was found to be the cause of the intussusception. While duplications and intussusception are very rare situations encountered in the adult life, the presence of both at the same time remains frankly anecdotal. The present case demonstrates that intussusception may likely be involved with any cecal lesion, like duplication.
