Case description

Intussusception is defined as the telescoping of one segment of the gastrointestinal tract (intussusceptum) into an intestinal segment distal to it (intussuscipiens). Intestinal invagination or intussusception is the leading cause of intestinal obstruction in children, but in adults it accounts for only 5% of all intussusceptions, up to 5% of all cases of adult intestinal obstructions.
