Abstract
Intussusception in adults is a rare but well-known cause of intestinal obstruction and is secondary to an underlying pathological bowel lesion in majority of cases. In adults, as the intussusception presents with atypical clinical features, accurate clinical diagnosis is not often possible, resulting in delayed treatment with serious complications. However, imaging can be of excellent help to the clinician in diagnosing the condition. Ultrasound can be used to diagnose the intussusception, whereas CT is of gold standard to detect the presence and location of intussusception and to characterize the causative lesion with its classical imaging appearance. Multiple simultaneous intussusceptions are rare. Here, we report a case of simultaneous jejuno-jejunal and ileo-ileal intussusception in an adult patient caused by multifocal non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.
