Jejunogastric intussusception: a case report with the review of literature

Abstract

Jejunogastric intussusception (JGI) is a rare but potentially lethal complication of gastrectomy or gastrojejunostomy. In the acute setting, early diagnosis and prompt surgical intervention are mandatory to avoid mortality. We present a case of JGI in a patient with a history of gastrojejunostomy who had increasing vomiting, hematemesis, and abdominal pain for 1 day.

Retrograde jejunogastric intussusception: A case report and review of the literature

“…3 There are also three clinical types of JGI. 9 The acute type usually presents a clinical triad of sudden onset of cramping epigastric pain, vomiting with or without hematemesis, and a palpable epigastric mass. 4 The chronic recurrent type presents recurrent, intermittent abdominal pain and postprandial fullness.…”

Gastrointestinal stromal tumour presenting with duodenal-jejunal intussusception: a case report

“…Present hypotheses include hyperperistalsis triggered by spasm or hyperacidity; mechanical factors from adhesions, a long mesentery, gastric derangements and sudden increases in intra-abdominal pressure. 14,15 This rare presentation required a multidisciplinary approach to formulate an appropriate diagnosis and carry out definitive treatment. The patient is well and has required no further therapy.…”

A rare case of gastrointestinal stromal tumors presenting with jejuno-jejunal intussusception and anemia in elderly

“…[7][8][9][10] In the literature there is description of jejunal intussusception due to jejunal polyp, adenomyoma, heterotopic gastric mucosa and of Jejunogastric/jejunal duodenal intussusception or retrograde intussusception as a severe complication of gastric surgery. 11 This case shows how GIST can rarely present as recurrent sub-acute intestinal obstruction due to jejunojejunal intussusception and as cause of anemia due to blood loss in elderly.…”
