Adult intussusception is rare, typically caused by tumors. This case highlights a gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumor leading to gastroduodenal intussusception, diagnosed preoperatively with CT.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Intussusception, a telescoping of the bowel, is uncommon in adults, accounting for only 5% of all cases.
  • Gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are rare mesenchymal neoplasms of the stomach.

Observation:

  • A rare case of adult intussusception originating from a gastric GIST is presented.
  • The intussusception involved the stomach and duodenum, a highly unusual presentation.

Findings:

  • Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) enabled accurate preoperative diagnosis of the gastroduodenal intussusception.
  • Surgical confirmation validated the MDCT findings and the underlying GIST as the cause.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering GISTs as a potential cause of intussusception in adults.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Advanced imaging like MDCT is crucial for the preoperative diagnosis of rare intussusception etiologies.
  • Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are key for managing GIST-induced intussusception.
