Abstract:
Intussusception is a rare cause of adult small bowel obstruction, often associated with malignant lesions but occasionally caused by benign etiologies like lipomas. The clinical presentation is diverse, with symptoms ranging from abdominal pain to changes in bowel habits. Computed tomography plays a pivotal role in diagnosis. Surgical intervention remains the cornerstone of treatment, involving resection of the affected bowel segment and removal of underlying lesions. This case report presents a unique occurrence of intussusception caused by jejunal lipoma in a 27-year-old male, highlighting its clinical features, diagnostic approach, and the crucial role of timely surgical intervention for optimal patient outcomes.
