Insights
Colonic intussusception is rare in children but can be caused by polyps. A giant juvenile polyp in the sigmoid colon led to colo-colic intussusception, successfully treated with colonoscopic polypectomy.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Gastroenterology
- Colorectal Surgery
- Gastrointestinal Oncology
Background:
- Intussusception is a frequent pediatric emergency, typically affecting the small intestine.
- Colonic intussusception is uncommon, often associated with underlying pathology.
- Intestinal polyps are recognized, though infrequent, causes of pediatric intussusception.
Abstract:
Intussusception is common in infants and young children. The most common type is small intestinal intussusception or ileo-colic intussusception. Colonic intussusception is rare. Intestinal polyps, especially large polyps or multiple polyps, can cause intussusception. Here, we report a rare case of colo-colic intussusception caused by a giant juvenile polyp of sigmoid colon, and the patient achieved good clinical effect through polypectomy under colonoscopy. So, when children have colonic intussusception, the possibility of colonic polyps should be considered.

Sigmoidoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a flexible sigmoidoscope equipped with a light source and camera to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon. The procedure involves inserting the tube through the anus...
Large Intestine
The ileocecal sphincter, a mucous membrane fold, guards the opening from the ileum to the large intestine. This valve permits material from the small intestine to pass into the large intestine. Attached to the ileocecal valve is the cecum. This small pouch, approximately 6 cm long, has a twisted, coiled tube known as...
