A Rare Case of Spontaneous Reduction of Adult Appendicular Intussusception with Acute Appendicitis
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 8
Abstract
Appendiceal intussusception is a very rare disease that is found in only 0.01% of patients who have undergone an appendectomy. The term intussusception is defined as invagination of a segment of the gastrointestinal tract into the lumen of an adjacent segment. It is more commonly observed in children, however occasionally it is seen in adults. It is associated with long mesoappendix, acute appendicitis, appendicular tumor and ileocaecal junction pathology. We describe a case of 19 yrs old male with appendicular intussusception associated with acute appendicitis, which reduced spontaneously and underwent laparoscopic appendectomy
