Post traumatic intussusception in an adult

M O Bashir1, G Lynch

Summary

Adult intussusception, a rare cause of bowel obstruction, can follow blunt abdominal trauma. This case highlights double jejuno-jejunal intussusception after injury, with Q-fever possibly playing a role.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Trauma Surgery

Background:

  • Intussusception is an uncommon cause of intestinal obstruction in adults.
  • Most adult intussusception cases are associated with identifiable underlying pathologies.

Observation:

  • This report details a rare instance of double jejuno-jejunal intussusception.
  • The condition occurred in a patient following blunt abdominal trauma.
  • No other intra-abdominal abnormalities were identified.

Findings:

  • Manual reduction of the intussusception led to complete recovery.
  • A concurrent diagnosis of Q-fever was made, suggesting potential etiological relevance.

Implications:

  • This case expands the understanding of intussusception etiology following trauma.
  • It underscores the importance of considering unusual causes of bowel obstruction in trauma patients.
  • The potential link between Q-fever and intussusception warrants further investigation.
