Abstract
ABSTRACT
Intussusception is the telescoping of one segment of bowel into the adjacent
segment. It is more commonly seen in children,however rarely encountered
in adult patients. Proximal segment of bowel is called intussusceptum which
is intussuscepted into the lumen of the adjacent distal segment known as
intussuscipiens. There is always a lead point causing this disorder especially in
adults. We presented a case of a 45 year old man who presented in emergency
department of our institute with history and clinical features of acute intestinal
obstruction since 10 days. Patient was resuscitated, investigated and taken for
exploratory laparotomy under General anaesthesia. Segment of involved small gut
was resected and well circumscribed polypoidal mass was found in intussuscepted
bowel. Histopathological examination of the specimen revealed the features of
inflammatory fibroid polyp.
