An Unusual Case of Intussusception
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 11
Abstract
Intussusceptions are defined as the telescoping of one segment of the gastrointestinal tract into an adjacent distal segment. In the small bowel, intussusceptions are typically caused by benign processes, but can occasionally be caused by inflammatory fibroid polyps (IFPs), which often present as intussusception and bowel obstruction. IFPs are most often seen in the stomach, but they can also occur in any segment of the gastrointestinal tract, where they most frequently cause an intussusception in the ileum, rather than the jejunum. Preoperative diagnosis of inflammatory pseudotumour is often difficult, and confirmation can only be obtained by histological examination to differentiate them from malignancy. The treatment of inflammatory pseudotumour is surgical resection of the involved bowel.
