Laparoscopic Management of a Proximal Small Bowel Intussusception Secondary to a Rare Benign Neoplasm: A Case Report with Review of Literature
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 7
Abstract
Introduction: Intussusception in adults is a rare entity in which there is telescoping of proximal bowel (intussusceptum) into the lumen of adjacent distal segment (intussuscepiens). Although a leading cause of intestinal obstruction in children, intussusception accounts for <1% of all adult intestinal obstructions. Case report: We report a case of a 36-year lady who presented to us with recurrent colicky abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting for 5 months. CT scan and double balloon enteroscopy showed a polypoid mass in jejunal lumen. Patient underwent a laparoscopy which showed a jejuno-jenunal intussusception associated with jejunal mass for which resection and primary anastomoses was done. Conclusion: It presents with acute, chronic or intermittent nonspecific symptoms thus making its diagnosis a challenge
