Enteric intussusception presenting as a rapidly enlarging mass.

S W Trenkner, J A Wilson, W W Coon

    The American Journal of Gastroenterology
    |June 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Adult enteric intussusception is rare and often confusing. This case highlights a rapidly developing jejunojejunal intussusception presenting as a large abdominal mass, emphasizing diagnostic imaging findings.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Radiology
    • Abdominal Imaging

    Background:

    • Enteric intussusception is an uncommon condition in adult patients.
    • It often presents with non-specific and confusing clinical symptoms.
    • Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management.

    Observation:

    • A case of jejunojejunal intussusception in an adult is presented.
    • A significant 15-cm abdominal mass developed within a 24-hour period.
    • The patient's presentation was atypical for common adult abdominal pathologies.

    Findings:

    • Plain film radiography revealed characteristic signs of intussusception.
    • Barium studies provided detailed anatomical information of the intussuscepted segment.
    • Ultrasound demonstrated the typical target sign and other key features of enteric intussusception.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering enteric intussusception in adults with acute abdominal presentations.
    • Radiological modalities including plain film, barium, and ultrasound are vital for diagnosis.
    • Recognizing the imaging findings can expedite diagnosis and treatment, improving patient outcomes.
