    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • Adult intussusception is an infrequent cause of bowel obstruction.
    • It often presents with a prolonged clinical history before diagnosis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the characteristics of adult intussusception.
    • To identify causative lesions and their association with malignancy.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective case series analysis.
    • Review of 17 adult intussusception cases over 20 years across two teaching hospitals.

    Main Results:

    • A local causative lesion was identified in all cases.
    • Malignant tumors were present in 2/7 small intestine and 7/10 large intestine intussusceptions.
    • Over half of the patients experienced a protracted clinical course.

    Conclusions:

    • Adult intussusception necessitates thorough investigation for underlying lesions, particularly malignancy in large bowel cases.
    • Delayed diagnosis is a significant issue in adult intussusception management.
