dc.description.abstract | Introduction: Intestinal intussusception is a rare disease out of childhood. It is represented by an invagination of a bowel into the lumen of the adjacent segment. Case Report: This article reports a case of 14 year-old patient presenting intestinal obstruction caused by an intussusception at the level of the terminal ileum. A surgical resection of the invaginated segment was done and the histopathological study disclosed no evidence of malignancy. Discussion: In children, it is usually idiopathic, but among adolescents and adults it is often related to anatomic lesions, some of them neoplastic with high risk of malignancy. Preoperative diagnosis of intestinal intussusception is difficult due to its nonspecific and subacute symptoms. Computed tomography and ultrassonography can confirm the intussusception through characteristic images. Conclusion: Intestinal intussusception in adolescents is a rare and often misdiagnosed disease, deserving special attention from surgeons and general doctors. | |
