A short segment of bowel-within-bowel configuration is seen on the left side of the abdomen, suggesting jejunojejunal intussusception.
Case Discussion
Transient or uncomplicated intussusception is known to occur in both adults and children and can be considered physiological.
Given the transient nature of the condition, it is probably underdiagnosed.
The main factors that distinguish transient from intussusceptions requiring surgical intervention are absent clinical symptoms, enteroenteric type, short length, and absent visible lead point.
