Resumen
RATTRAY, D y BRINK, H. A rare case of adult intussusception. S. Afr. j. surg. [online]. 2024, vol.62, n.1, pp.86-88. ISSN 2078-5151. http://dx.doi.org/10.36303/SAJS.00196.
Adult intussusception is rare, and its non-specific symptoms make the diagnosis particularly difficult. Imaging modalities such as X-ray, abdominal ultrasound and multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) may improve preoperative detection. In this report, we present a 53-year-old male with an ileocaecal intussusception. The patient underwent an extended right hemicolectomy and double barrel ileocolostomy. Histopathological review of the specimen identified the lead point as an intramural caecal lymph node which, as far as we are aware, is the first time this type of lead point has been reported.
