Insights
A rare case of infant intussusception led to transanal and intraperitoneal prolapse. Prolonged venous occlusion due to anomalous vascular supply may cause intussusceptum rupture.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Surgery
- Gastrointestinal Pathology
- Medical Imaging
Background:
- Intussusception is a common surgical emergency in infants.
- Unusual complications, such as prolapse, require careful consideration.
- Congenital anomalies can predispose to complex presentations.
Abstract:
An infant with intussusception who developed an unusual complication of transanal and intraperitoneal prolapse is reported. Complete venous occlusion of the intussusceptum for a prolonged period in a patient with congenital anomalous vascular supply of the colon is suggested as a mechanism responsible for rupture of the intussuscepiens.
