This study presents four adult intestinal intussusception cases, highlighting varied etiologies and diagnostic methods. Emergency right colectomy was the standard surgical intervention for all patients.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Gastroenterology
  • Abdominal Imaging

Background:

  • Intestinal intussusception is a rare condition in adults, often presenting with non-specific symptoms.
  • Understanding the diverse etiologies and clinical presentations is crucial for timely diagnosis and management.
  • Diagnostic modalities play a key role in identifying the underlying cause and extent of intussusception.

Observation:

  • Four adult cases of intestinal intussusception were reviewed.
  • Etiologies varied among the presented cases, underscoring the condition's multifactorial nature in adults.
  • Clinical presentation and diagnostic approaches were analyzed for each case.

Findings:

  • The frequency of adult intussusception and its clinical manifestations were discussed.

  • Diagnostic strategies employed included imaging techniques to delineate the intussusception.
  • All patients underwent emergency right colectomy as the definitive treatment.

    • Implications:

    • This case series emphasizes the importance of considering intestinal intussusception in adult patients with abdominal complaints.
    • Prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention, such as right colectomy, are essential for favorable outcomes.
    • Further research into the specific etiologies may improve targeted management strategies for adult intussusception.
