    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Context:

    • Intestinal intussusception is a rare condition in adults, accounting for only 2.6% of intestinal obstruction cases.
    • This retrospective study analyzed 13 adult cases over 14 years at the University Hospital of Monastir.

    Purpose:

    • To analyze the clinical, etiological, and therapeutic aspects of adult intestinal intussusception.
    • To highlight the diagnostic challenges and the necessity of surgical management.

    Summary:

    • Abdominal pain was a universal symptom. Diagnosis was frequently intraoperative (8/13 cases).
    • Underlying pathological causes were identified in 69% of cases, with intestinal tumors found in 39% (one malignant).
    • Surgery was required in all instances, with the lead point identified in the small bowel in 12 cases and the colon in one.

    Impact:

    • Adult intussusception, though uncommon, necessitates prompt preoperative diagnosis and surgical intervention.
    • Identifying the underlying lesion is critical for effective management and preventing recurrence.
