    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Intussusception is rare in adults, comprising 16.6% of cases.
    • Identifying the underlying cause is crucial for adult intussusception management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review adult intussusception cases.
    • To categorize etiological factors and common sites of adult intussusception.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 25 adult intussusception cases.
    • Analysis of underlying pathologic processes, etiological categories, and anatomical sites.

    Main Results:

    • Underlying pathology identified in 92% of patients.
    • Etiologies: tumor-related (52%), postoperative (36%), miscellaneous (4%), idiopathic (8%).

  • Common sites: ileocolic (10), jejunojejunal (7), ileoileal (4), colocolic (3).

    • Conclusions:

    • Adult intussusception typically has an identifiable underlying cause.
    • Tumors and postoperative complications are the leading causes.
    • Accurate diagnosis of the underlying pathology is essential for appropriate treatment.
