A Case Series of Intussusception in Adults
Dr. Pavithra Anand, Dr. Vijayalakshmi R, Dr. Ramprasath A
Abstract: Introduction: Intussusception is telescoping or invagination of one portion (segment) of bowel into the adjacent segment. Intussusception in adults is uncommon, accounting for 5% of all intussusceptions and representing only 1% of intestinal obstructions. Adult intussusception is usually secondary to an identifiable cause like malignant or benign neoplasms, polyps, Meckel?s diverticulum, and postoperative adhesions. Association with malignant tumors is more common in large bowel intussusception than small bowel intussusceptions. In adults, intussusception presents insidiously with vague abdominal symptoms hence diagnosis becomes difficult. CT is the most effective diagnostic modality. Treatment in adults is usually exploratory laparotomy with surgical resection. Materials and Methods: A total of 5 cases which were admitted in Govt. Kilpauk Medical College Hospital and Govt. Royapettah Hospital with the diagnosis of intussusception during the period of 6 months from June 2023 to November 2023 were considered for this series. Results: Out of 5 cases included in this case series 1 case was ileocolic, 3 cases were ileoileal, 1 case was colo colic intussusception.
