“…The great percentage of adult intussusception are of the enteric, colocolic, ileocecal, and ileocolic type [2,19,20]. Intussusception occurs more frequently in the small (50-88%) than in the large bowel (12-50%) [1,2,4,6,7,14]. In our series, the proportion for location of intussusception was similar to the previous studies, and the most common type was enteric intussusceptions (52.4%).…”

“…Additionally, each study reported different locations of intussusception. Adult intussusception occurs more frequently in the small (50-88%) than in the large bowel (12-50%) [1,2,4,6,7,14]. On the other hand, 0% (N = 0/9) [11], 25% (N = 2/8) [13], 41.7% (N = 10/24) [12], and 54.3% (N = 25/46) [9] of cases in the four studies have been reported.…”

“…Adult intussusception occurs infrequently, accounting for only 1% of all cases of intestinal obstructions and 5% of all intussusception [1,2]. It differs from the childhood condition in its presentations, cause, and treatment [3].…”

This study was to determine clinical entity of adult intussusception, focusing on discrepancies among previous studies and to retrospectively investigate the factors associated with malignancy and survival for 10 years. In our study, 3.7% (N = 42) of intussusception were adults. The most common symptom was acute abdominal pain (64.3%). Enteric, ileocolic, ileocecal, and colocolic intussusception included 52.4, 9.5, 14.3, and 23.8% of patients, respectively. Two patients (9.1%) with enteric (N = 22), no patient with ileocolic (N = 4), three patients (50%) with ileocecal (N = 6), and five patients (50%) with colocolic (N = 10) intussusception were malignant. The factor associated with malignancy was only chronic abdominal pain without acute abdominal pain (P = 0.018) and the absence of fever and ileocecal intussusception were associated with survival (P = 0.010, 0.009). In our study, the most common symptom was acute abdominal pain, and enteric intussusception was the most common type. The difference in clinical presentation and location of intussusception might have resulted from small number of cases or selection of cases.

“…In > 90 percent of cases, an identifiable lesion resulting in a lead point is demonstrable [7] , with neoplasm accounting for 65 percent [1] . In general, the majority of lead points in the small intestine consist of benign lesions, such as benign neoplasms, inflammatory lesions, Meckel's diverticuli, appendix, adhesions, and intestinal tubes.…”

“…Adult intussusception (AI) occurs infrequently, accounting for only 1% of all cases of intestinal obstructions and 5% of all intussusception [1,2] . In contrast to childhood intussusception, which is idiopathic in 90% of cases, adult intussusception has a demonstrable lead point, with well defined pathological abnormality in 70%-90% of cases [3][4][5] .…”
