Kirankumar P Jadhav, Ashwini C Hiremath, Swaroop S Powar


Abstract: Intussusception is a common malady of the paediatric population. However adult intussusception is a rare entity and accounts for less than 5% of all cases of intussusception6. This is a case study of an elderly female presenting with vague abdominal complaints whose CT revealed an ileocolic intussusception. Patient underwent emergency exploratory laparotomy and was found to have a malignant ileocecal growth. The pathological report described the growth as non ? Hodgkin?s lymphoma. Unlike their paediatric counterpart, majority of the adult intussusception have a pathological lead point which requires evaluation by clinical examination and investigations. This study highlights the importance of high index of clinical suspicion and role of computed tomography in diagnosing intussusception in elderly. It also emphasizes on aggressive surgical management as opposed to conservative approach in such patients.
