Adult colo-colonic intussusception is rare and often linked to malignancy. This case report highlights a rare instance of intussusception after colonoscopy, successfully treated non-surgically, suggesting post-polypectomy edema as a potential cause.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology
- Surgical Oncology
Background:
- Colo-colonic intussusception in adults is uncommon, typically associated with malignant lesions.
- Idiopathic intussusception in adults is rare, with unclear pathogenesis.
Observation:
- A case of adult colo-colonic intussusception occurred post-colonoscopy.
- The intussusception was successfully treated with laparoscopic reduction.
Findings:
- The intussusception was likely induced by post-polypectomy mucosal edema acting as a lead point.
- This suggests a non-surgical approach may be effective.
Implications:
- Post-polypectomy edema can potentially cause intussusception in adults.
- Laparoscopic reduction without resection may be a viable treatment option for such cases.
