Abstract:
Intussusception is a rare cause of bowel obstruction in adults. In pediatric intussusception the most prevalent etiologic factor is viral infections, however in adults the majority of cases are associated with malignancy. We describe the case of a 37-year-old woman that presented to hospital with right lower quadrant abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting 3 days after the initial diagnosis of COVID-19 and was diagnosed with intussusception without another identified cause. The aim of this report is to raise awareness of this extra-respiratory COVID-19 manifestation in adults and guide further decisions regarding less invasive management in such patients.
