Background:
Intestinal intussusception caused by intestinal duplication and ectopic pancreas is extremely rare in the clinic and has not been reported previously.
Case Summary:
A 29-year-old man was admitted to the hospital for chronic abdominal pain and bloating. The preoperative diagnosis was intestinal obstruction and intussusception. Then, laparotomy, partial small intestinal resection and extraintestinal decompression were performed. Postoperative pathology confirmed intestinal duplication and ectopic pancreas. After surgery, the patient recovered well with no complications. No recurrence was observed after more than 5 mo of follow-up.
Conclusion:
We report a new case of a young male with intussusception caused by intestinal duplication and ectopic pancreas. Surgery is the main treatment for these conditions. This study aimed to raise awareness and provide information to improve the clinical management of this rare yet serious condition.
Insights
Intestinal intussusception due to intestinal duplication and ectopic pancreas is rare. Surgical intervention is the primary treatment for this condition, leading to successful patient recovery and no recurrence.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology
- Surgical Pathology
Background:
- Intestinal intussusception is a rare condition, particularly when caused by intestinal duplication and ectopic pancreas.
- This specific etiology has not been previously documented in clinical reports.
Observation:
- A 29-year-old male presented with chronic abdominal pain and bloating, initially diagnosed as intestinal obstruction and intussusception.
- Surgical intervention included laparotomy, partial small intestinal resection, and extraintestinal decompression.
Findings:
- Postoperative pathological examination confirmed the presence of both intestinal duplication and ectopic pancreas as the cause of intussusception.
- The patient experienced a full recovery with no complications and remained recurrence-free for over five months post-surgery.
Implications:
- This case highlights a novel cause of intussusception, emphasizing the importance of considering rare etiologies.
- Surgical management is effective for intussusception secondary to intestinal duplication and ectopic pancreas.
- Increased clinical awareness and reporting are crucial for improving the management of this rare condition.
