Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Intussusception in an adult is a rare condition as compared to pediatric intussusception. Adult intussusception constitutes approximately 5% of all intussusceptions. We present an unusual case of adult intussusception clinically suspected as a case of acute appendicitis. Radiological investigation revealed ileo-appendico-colic intussusception with inflamed appendix as a lead point. Patient underwent emergency laparotomy for the same. On histopathological examination adenocarcinoma of the caecum was confirmed as the cause of intussusception leading to acute intestinal obstruction.
