Rare Case of Jejuno-Gastric Intussusception
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 9
Abstract
Retrograde Gastro jejunal intussusception is a rare complication, with an incidence of 0.1 % post op and less than 200 such cases have been reported worldwide. We report a case of 40 year old male patient coming with acute intestinal obstruction with vomiting, hematemesis and epigastric lump. Urgent ultrasound of abdomen and pelvis was suggestive of jejunal intussusception. Contrast enhanced computed tomography of abdomen showed the ‘target sign’, with jejunal loops in stomach. As details of previous surgery done 15 years back were unavailable, exact cause of gastrojejunal intussusception was unknown till exploration when type 2 Gastro jejunal intussusception was detected. Patient had an uneventful recovery.
