| Popis: | Colonic intussusception is often reported to be related to malignancy in adults. Colonoscopy itself with or without polypectomy is known to be a rare cause of colonic intussusception. We encountered case in which an individual was diagnosed with intussusception following colonoscopy. The patient was a 44-year-old female who, on the same day, had undergone a colonoscopy including endoscopic mucosal resection for a polyp in the ascending colon. She visited the emergency room with complaints of right-sided abdominal pain. Abdominal examination revealed peritoneal irritation in the right upper quadrant. Abdominal CT revealed colocolic intussusception near the hepatic flexure. This was suspected to have been induced by post-polypectomy electrocoagulation syndrome. A laparoscopic right hemicolectomy was performed because conducting a reduction trial through colonoscopy involves a high risk of peritonitis, in addition to a low likelihood of spontaneous reduction of intussusception due to the additional edema and ischemia resulting from the polypectomy. The patient was discharged without complications six days after the surgery. Though some cases have been reported, there is no treatment strategy for intussusception following colonoscopy. Therefore, we report this case of colonic intussusception following colonoscopy, which was found to be caused by Post-polypectomy Electrocoagulation Syndrome, with a literature review. |
