Abstract

Abstract: Intussusception is a rare condition in adults and presents a diagnostic challenge. Clinical presentation tends to be chronic and non-specific. Unlike the pediatric population, most adult intussusceptions have structural lesions as lead points. Here, we present a case of jejunojejunal intussusception in a 27-year female due to adenoma of small bowel.
