Ileocolic neoplastic intussusception-Imaging role and surgical management: A case report.

Acta Radiologica Open 2023 Februrary
Intussusception refers to invagination of bowel loops into a neighboring, adjacent bowel segment. While it is not an uncommon entity in paediatrics-about 95% of intussusceptions occur in childhood, merely 5% of them affect the adult population. When affecting the later typically the small intestine is engaged rather than the colon. The diagnosis often represents with unspecific symptoms and is rarely considered a possibility in adults. In the past the diagnosis was typically made intraoperatively. As the Multi-Detector Computed Tomography (MDCT) of the abdomen became a referral diagnostic method, recognizing the signs of the condition is very important since some of the cases are transient, while others have an underlying malignant cause and more aggressive treatment is required. Surgical treatment planning is mandatory in those neoplastic complicated cases. The presented case report describes the role of radiology and the surgical treatment of a malignant ileocolic intussusception.
