Post traumatic intussusception in an adult

Intussusception is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction in adults. When seen most cases have identifiable pathology. Intussusception following blunt abdominal trauma is extremely rare. This report presents a case of double jejuno-jejunal intussusception in a patient who sustained such an injury. There was no other intra-abdominal abnormality and manual reduction resulted in a complete recovery. The coincidental discovery of Q-fever may be etiologically relevant.
