Abstract

Key Clinical Message: We herein report a case of adult intussusceptions induced by a terminal ileum diverticulum. Histological examination confirmed a terminal ileum diverticulum full of feces, and it was considered an infiltrated region. The clinical characteristics of previously reported adult intussusceptions are also discussed, including jejunoileal diverticulum and surgical management.
