Ileocolic intussusception

Discussion:

This is a case of an ileocolic intussusception.

The patient presented with intermittent abdominal pain. Ultrasound initially showed a small bowel to small bowel intussusception (not shown) so no action was indicated. The pain eventually subsided and the patient was discharged home.

However, the patient returned with abdominal pain where an ultrasound showed findings consistent with an ileocolic intussusception. The patient was taken to fluoroscopy for an air enema where there was successful reduction of the ileocolic intussusception. There were no recurrences of the intussusception.
