“…The treatment of choice among adults is surgical resection [11,13,16,19,20,21,22,26,28,29]. This is because it is associated with a lead point in 90% of cases, 65% of which are malignant [10,17].…”

“…Intussusception is classified into 4 types depending on the parts of the bowel involved: enteric, ileo-cecal, ileo-colic (commonest) and colo-colic [1,2,18,19,20]. Intussusception in pregnancy is rare globally [11,12,13,14,15,16].…”

“…The use of radiological imaging (ultrasonography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging) in confirming diagnosis of intussusception in pregnancy cannot be overemphasized [8,11,13,14]. The treatment of choice for intussusception in adults is surgical resection, unlike in children where a more conservative approach is favored [11,13,16,19,20,21,22,26,28,29].…”

There is paucity of scientific data on intussusception in pregnancy globally which makes it a rare clinical occurrence. The symptoms in pregnancy may mimic obstetric conditions and thus presents a diagnostic dilemma to clinicians. A high index of suspicion is therefore needed in order to establish a preoperative diagnosis. We present a 29-year old woman, gravida 5 para 4, 2 alive and 2 dead (G5P4 2A+2D) at 23-weeks' 6 days gestation from northern Ghana, who was referred to Tamale Teaching Hospital (TTH) as a case of acute abdomen. Initial clinical assessment and bedside ultrasonography led to a diagnosis of intussusception. A viable colo-colic intussusception was found on open laparotomy and a left hemicolectomy was performed. This was confirmed by histopathological examination of the resected bowel. There was no identifiable lead point. This case report illustrates how good and prompt initial clinical assessment supported with imaging led to a successful outcome of acute abdomen in pregnancy in a low-middle resource country.

“…Quel que soit le tableau clinique initial, l'endoscopie, le lavement baryté, l'échographie abdominale et la TDM sont utiles pour déterminer le diagnostic d'invagination et pour identifier une éventuelle tumeur intestinale comme sa cause [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. Plus rarement, le diagnostic est retenu par la chirurgie exploratrice.…”

Unlike children, acute intussusception in adult is very unusual. It is often the result of an underlying lesion. We report the case of a 41-year-old patient with acute intussusception due to ileal lipoma diagnosed by abdominal CT scan and confirmed by laparoscopy. The patient underwent a coelio-assisted resectionanastomosis of the invaginated loop with a safety margin because of the frequency of malignant tumors often associated with this type of lesion. This therapeutic attitude justifies the essential place of surgery in the management.
