    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • Intussusception, a telescoping of one intestinal segment into another, is rare in adults, often presenting with vague symptoms.
    • Unlike pediatric intussusception, adult cases frequently involve a pathological lead point, such as malignancy.

    Observation:

    • Presents a review of essential diagnostic principles for adult intussusception, emphasizing the importance of advanced imaging.
    • Details critical treatment considerations, including surgical intervention for most adult cases.
    • Includes three illustrative case histories of adult intussusception.

    Findings:

    • Adult intussusception diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion and appropriate imaging modalities.
    • Surgical resection is the mainstay of treatment, particularly when a lead point is identified or suspected.
