“…In a study of 745 surgically diagnosed adult intussusceptions, 52% were found in the small intestine (39% enteroenteric, 13% ileocolic) and 38% in the large intestine (17% ileocecal, 17% colocolic, 4% appendiceal). 2 In contrast to intussusceptions in children, which are typically primary or idiopathic, most adult intussusceptions are caused by a structural lesion. A significant proportion of these lead points are malignant neoplasms, accounting for 66% of colonic intussusceptions and 30% of cases in the small intestine.…”

“…It represents 5% to 10% of reported cases and 80% of these are neoplastic in origin. 1 The most frequent site of intussusception is just proximal to the ileocecal valve, with the intussusception (the proximal segment), in this case being the ileocecal valve, telescoping into the intussuscipiens (the distal segment) and propelled by the forward direction of peristalsis.…”

“…1 Most cases of intussusception are characterized by a polypoid tumor located in the terminal ileum, invaginating within the cecum. Its preoperative diagnosis is difficult because of nonspecific symptoms.…”

“…Na presença de peritonismo normal, a ocorrência de uma tumoração intraluminal serve como elemento de tração do restante da alça que a precede, e este é o mecanismo de ação pelo qual a intussuscepção ocorre. Um estudo de 745 casos de intussuscepção intestinal diagnosticados cirurgicamente mostrou que 52% se originaram no intestino delgado, sendo 39% enteroentéricas, e 13% ileocólicas 1 . A maioria das intussuscepções em adultos diagnosticadas durante cirurgias são secundárias a lesões estruturais.…”
