“…In contrast, the occurrence in adults is rare and is usually secondary to a causal lesion in 90% of cases 3. Incidence of adult intussusception stands at 2–3 cases/1 000 000 per year and is responsible for about 2% of all bowel obstructions 1 2. In children, presentation usually involves the classic triad of abdominal pain, vomiting and blood in stool 4.…”

“…En adultos es una entidad rara y, a diferencia de los niños, en el 90% de los casos es secundaria a una lesión orgánica -tumoraciones benignas o malignas, o, con menor frecuencia, cuerpos extraños, hematomas, enfermedad celíaca o adherencias- 3,4 . Entre los tumores benignos destacan los pólipos (lipomas, hamartomas, leiomiomas, neurofibromas, adenomas inflamatorios), o el divertículo de Meckel; entre los malignos las metástasis, linfomas, sarcomas o melanomas 1,5 . La manifestación clínica suele ser inespecífica y se caracteriza por vómitos, dolor abdominal y melenas 5 .…”
