Having defined as a proximal intestinal segment interpenetrating an adjacent distal intestinal segment lumen in the gastrointestinal system intussusception or invagination, is the most common cause for acute abdomen in children following acute appendicitis.Contrary to childhood period intussusception is rarely encountered among adults. Etiology, clinical presentation and treatment methods are different in adults as well. In etiology of an adult intussusception mostly there are malignant, non-malignant and iatrogenik reasons. İn rare cases the etiology is idiopathic or spontaneous. Spontaneous intussusceptions are mostly seen in small bowel. Diagnose of an adult intussusception can be overlooked or delayed when it is rarely encountered and atypically presented. Treatment is surgical in most cases. In this article, two adult cases of spontaneous ileo-ileal and ileo-caecal intussusception was analysed and presented under current literature considering clinical outlook, diagnose and treatment.
