Jejunojejunal Intussusception Induced by Lipomatous Polyp of Jejunum
Journal Title: International Journal of Anatomy Radiology and Surgery - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Adult intussusception is rare unlike childhood variety where it is the leading cause of intestinal obstruction. Preoperative diagnosis is often difficult as the symptoms are nonspecific and so high index of suspicion is needed for early diagnosis by appropriate investigations. This is a case of 65-year-old man presented with acute intestinal obstruction whose laparotomy revealed a jejunojejunal intussusception secondary to a lipomatous lesion which was successfully treated with resection and primary anastomosis. When dealing with a case of chronic intermittent intestinal obstruction, intussusception must be kept in mind as one of the differential diagnosis.
