Popis: Invagination is the process of introducing one part of the intestine into another, which is a type of acute intestinal obstruction. Most often occurs in infants. Diagnosis in adults causes difficulties, often the disease simulates the clinic of other diseases of the abdominal cavity (pancreatitis, appendicitis, etc.). Distinguish between different types of invagination of the intestine: the cecal intussusception, colonic intussusception, ileal-colonic intussusception, small bowel invagination. The diagnosis uses ultrasound, CT, X-ray examination. Treatment of intestinal invagination in adults is surgical in most cases. We present a case of iliac-colonic invagination in an adult male with acute abdomen.
