Garner JeffreyP, Haldipur Nandan, Ravi Krish, Amarnath TakalokoppaS, Gupta Robin

Abstract

Adult intussusception is a different disease from that encountered in children with a higher rate of pathological lead points, the majority of which in the colon are malignant. This has supported a practice of mandatory laparotomy and en bloc resection without reduction for colonic adult intussusception. We report three cases of adult colonic intussusception, which demonstrate a variety of presenting features and discuss the investigation and treatment of this uncommon condition.
