Summary
This case report details a rare instance of intussusception in a two-month-old infant caused by a myoglandular-type polyp. It highlights the unusual etiology for this age group and discusses diagnosis and treatment.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Gastroenterology
- Surgical Pathology
Background:
- Intussusception is a common cause of intestinal obstruction in infants, typically occurring between 4-6 months.
- Causes are non-pathological (rotavirus vaccine, dehydration, illness) or pathological (Meckel's diverticulum, polyps, tumors).
- Intussusception in infants under three months is rare, often idiopathic, and myoglandular polyps are exceptionally uncommon in patients under 50.

113
The appendix, a small, narrow, blind tube extending from the inferior part of the cecum, is widely regarded as a vestigial organ, having lost much of its original function through evolution. Despite its diminished role, the appendix can become inflamed, a condition known as appendicitis.
Etiology: Appendicitis can arise from various causes, primarily rooted in the obstruction of the appendix lumen. Factors contributing to this obstruction include fecal accumulation, lymphoid hyperplasia and, in...

Esophageal perforations manifest in various clinical forms, influenced by factors such as the perforation's cause and location (cervical, intrathoracic, or intra-abdominal), the extent of contamination, and potential injury to adjacent mediastinal structures. The timing between the perforation occurrence and treatment initiation also affects the clinical presentation.
