[Gastroduodenal intussusception complicating Menetrier's disease].

Area of Science:

• Gastroenterology and Radiology

Background:

• Menetrier's disease is a rare condition characterized by enlarged gastric mucosal folds.
• Its etiology remains largely unknown.

Observation:

• A rare case of gastroduodenal intussusception complicating Menetrier's disease is presented.
• High-resolution Computed Tomography (CT) revealed a cerebriform surface of giant mucosal folds.

Findings:

• Gastroduodenal intussusception is a rare complication of Menetrier's disease.
• CT imaging is crucial for diagnosing the characteristic mucosal fold abnormalities.

Implications:

• This case highlights the diagnostic utility of CT in rare gastrointestinal conditions.
• Water filling of the gastroduodenal tract may aid diagnosis in uncomplicated presentations.
