“…A search of the English literature yielded only four previous reports of gastrogastric intussusceptions secondary to a benign mass, totaling fi ve cases. [9][10][11][12] All patients were elderly women (age range: 65-83 years) who presented with episodic pain, intermittent vomiting, weight loss over several months, and severe anemia. Only one patient was admitted with a 3-day history of severe epigastric pain with nausea and vomiting.…”

Intussusception is uncommon in the proximal gastrointestinal tract, although a few case reports have been published on gastroduodenal intussusception associated with an anatomical abnormality or intussusceptions at a site of gastrojejunostomy after gastric surgery. We herein present a case of gastrogastric intussusception secondary to a gastric cancer, which presented as vomiting and poor oral intake. A 73-year-old woman was diagnosed with gastric cancer during a cancer screening by esophagogastroduodenoscopy and biopsy. Twenty days later, she presented with acute vomiting, a high fever, an increased heart rate, and severe anemia. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy demonstrated that the mass had been intussuscepted into the gastric lumen and distorted the distal antrum of the stomach. Standard distal subtotal gastrectomy was performed without reduction. Her postoperative course was uneventful.

“…Gastro-gastric intussusception results from the invagination of the proximal stomach into the distal stomach. There have only been several published cases of gastro-gastric intussusception, (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6) all of which have a gastric tumour as a lead point. The gastric tumours in question include primary gastric lymphoma, (1) gastric carcinoma (2) and hypertrophic gastric polyps.…”

“…The gastric tumours in question include primary gastric lymphoma, (1) gastric carcinoma (2) and hypertrophic gastric polyps. (3) Only two cases of gastro-gastric intussusceptions due to leiomyomas (4,5) and one due to a GIST (6) have previously been reported.…”

“…Contrast fluoroscopic studies, namely upper gastrointestinal contrast series for foregut/small bowel involvement and barium enema for large bowel involvement, may show a classic 'coiled spring' appearance. (4,5) Ultrasonography is a frequently employed modality for diagnosing intussusception, especially in the paediatric population, although it is also used in adults. Classic sonographic features include the 'target' sign on the transverse view and the 'pseudo-kidney' sign on the longitudinal view.…”

M e d i c a l E d u c a t i o n CASE PRESENTATION A 95-year-old woman with a past medical history of hypertension and chronic kidney disease presented with abdominal bloating and poor appetite of one week's duration. Physical examination showed conjunctival pallor and mild generalised abdominal tenderness without signs of peritonism. Blood tests revealed anaemia of 6.8 g/dL from a baseline level of 11.5 g/dL. Liver function tests and amylase were within normal limits. Initial chest and abdominal radiographs were unremarkable. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen and pelvis (Fig. 1) was subsequently performed. What do the images show? What is the diagnosis? CMEArticle

“…By contrast, Drs. Javors and Rackson [1] unearthed three prior reports of gastrogastric intussusception when they reported a case in 1987-this was presumably the result of diligent searching using paper-based reference materials.…”
