    Summary

    Adult intussusception is uncommon and presents differently than in children. Computed tomography (CT) is crucial for diagnosis, with surgery often required to address underlying causes.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Radiology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Intussusception is rare in adults, differing significantly from pediatric cases.
    • Clinical presentations are often nonspecific, necessitating a high index of suspicion.
    • Adult intussusception frequently indicates an underlying pathological process.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review fundamental concepts of adult intussusception.
    • To discuss pathophysiology, imaging findings, and common etiologies.
    • To highlight the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for adult intussusception.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on adult intussusception.
    • Emphasis on the role of computed tomography (CT) in diagnosis.
    • Discussion of surgical management and identification of causative lesions.

    Main Results:

    • Computed tomography (CT) demonstrates high sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing intussusception.
    • Surgical intervention is the primary treatment modality.
    • Surgery facilitates the identification of underlying etiologies.

    Conclusions:

    • Adult intussusception requires a high index of suspicion due to varied and nonspecific symptoms.
    • CT is a fundamental imaging modality for accurate diagnosis.
    • Surgical treatment is often necessary and aids in determining the underlying cause.
