Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 5
Abstract
Appendiceal intussusception happens when appendix segment is pulled into itself or into the cecum. This condition can mimic various chronic and acute abdominal conditions, with an important entity to be recognized, since it could be mistaken as a cecal mass.It is an extremely rare condition that ranges from partial invagination of the appendix to involvement of the entire colon. Endometriosis is defined as the presence of ectopic endometrial tissue outside the lining of the uterine cavity. Endometriosis is an exceptionally rare cause of appendiceal intussusception and only very few cases have been reported in the literature to date.We report here a case of appendicealintussusceptionsecondary to endometriosis.
