This report details a rare case of spontaneous retrograde gastroesophageal intussusception in an adult woman. Increased awareness of this condition can improve diagnosis rates for upper gastrointestinal obstruction.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Spontaneous retrograde gastroesophageal intussusception is a rare condition.
  • Adult cases are exceptionally uncommon, often presenting with symptoms of upper gastrointestinal obstruction.

Observation:

  • A 72-year-old woman with a history of ovarian cancer and hiatal hernia presented with symptoms suggestive of upper gastrointestinal obstruction.
  • Endoscopic examination revealed retrograde intussusception.

Findings:

  • Endoscopic diagnosis was confirmed by a radiographic upper gastrointestinal series.
  • This confirmed the rare entity of spontaneous retrograde gastroesophageal intussusception in an adult.

Implications:

  • Heightened clinical awareness of this condition is crucial for accurate and timely diagnosis.
