Gastroscopic reduction of afferent loop intragastric intussusception

A case is presented of afferent loop intragastric intussusception diagnosed by gastroscopy 18 years after partial gastrectomy with retrocolic gastrojejunostomy. The intussusception was successfully reduced by means of the gastroscope. The symptoms were instantly relieved, with a symptom-free follow-up of 1/2 year. Provided that the intussuscepted segment appears viable it seems justified to aim initially to reduce jejuno-gastric intussusception with the aid of the gastroscope.
