Abstract:
Feeding jejunostomy is a simple and common procedure used to provide enteral nutrition. Acute intestinal intussusception on a jejunostomy tube is a rare complication that can have catastrophic consequences and often requires urgent surgical intervention. We report the case of a 45-year-old female patient with a stenosing hypopharyngeal tumor leading to complete aphagia. Due to the severe deterioration of her general condition, the patient underwent surgery, and a Witzel-type feeding jejunostomy was performed. The patient's postoperative course was notable for the development of intussusception around the jejunostomy tube two months later, which required surgical intervention. The recovery was uneventful. Early diagnosis is crucial to improve the prognosis of this particular form of acute intestinal intussusception. Treatment is almost exclusively surgical.
