Caecal Appendiceal Intussusception Caused by Endometriosis: A Case Presentation of Laparoscopic Management
Journal Title: Türk Kolon ve Rektum Hastalıkları Dergisi - Year 2018, Vol 28, Issue 1
Abstract
Appendiceal intussusception is an extremely rare condition ranging from partial invagination of the appendix to involvement of the entire colon. It may be due to intraluminal foreign bodies, lymphoid hyperplasia, polyps, neoplasia, or endometriosis. Endometriosis is an extremely rare cause of appendiceal intussusception. Patients usually present with symptoms of acute appendicitis. In the case presented here, appendiceal invagination was detected in laparoscopic exploration during surgery for suspected acute appendicitis and was treated laparoscopically.
