| Popis: |
Chronic intussusception is the prolapse of a portion of bowel into the lumen of an adjacent segment of the bowel usually lasting 14 days or more. We report on a 65-year-old man who presented with a fifteen month history of generalized cramping lower abdominal pain without any change in bowel habits. Plain abdominal x-ray, ultrasonography and CT were performed. Laparotomy revealed an ileo-ileal intusussception; there was no cause identified and the intussusception was easily reproducible peroperatively. The intussusception was reduced and the small intestine was plicated. |
