Insights
Retrograde intussusception, a rare condition, was observed in a newborn. This case involved a jejunal duplication cyst causing intermittent upper gastrointestinal obstruction and an abdominal mass.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Surgery
- Gastroenterology
- Medical Imaging
Background:
- Retrograde intussusception is an uncommon form of bowel obstruction where the intestine telescopes in a direction opposite to normal peristalsis.
- Intussusception in neonates is rare, and retrograde intussusception is even rarer, often associated with specific underlying pathologies.
- Jejunal duplication cysts are congenital anomalies that can lead to various gastrointestinal complications.
Abstract:
Retrograde intussusception is a rare occurrence. We report a retrograde jejunal-duodenal intussusception associated with a jejunal duplication cyst, which presented as intermittent biliary and upper gastrointestinal (UGI) obstruction and a mobile abdominal mass in a newborn infant.
