Adult intussusception is rare, often caused by tumors, and presents with varied symptoms. Early diagnosis using imaging like ultrasonography is crucial for effective treatment and improved patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Intussusception, a condition where one part of the intestine telescopes into another, is uncommon in adults.
  • It is frequently associated with underlying pathological conditions, such as tumors, necessitating thorough investigation.

Observation:

  • The study reviewed eight adult cases of intussusception over five years.
  • Tumors were identified as the cause in eight cases (3 simple, 5 malignant).
  • Chronic symptoms were present in three cases, highlighting diagnostic challenges.

Findings:

  • Various types of intussusception were observed, including ileo-ileal, ileo-cecal, ileocolic, cecco-colic, and colo-colic.
  • Surgical resection was required in seven cases, with one patient undergoing wedge resection.
  • One patient experienced a fatal outcome due to cerebral multiple embolization.

Implications:

  • The findings underscore the importance of considering intussusception in adult patients with relevant symptoms.
  • Modern diagnostic tools, particularly ultrasonography, are vital for accurate and timely diagnosis.
  • Understanding the diverse etiologies and presentations is key to managing this condition effectively.
