“…3 The clinical features normally seen with BL in the pediatric population include massive involvement of the gastrointestinal tract which is the usual site of involvement especially in sporadic forms, involvement of the jaw or face (25%), regional adenopathy, Central Nervous System involvement in 15% to 30% of cases, and other digestive signs due to intestinal obstruction or gastrointestinal bleeding. 3,4 Intussusception is a condition in which a segment of the digestive tract (proximal part) is invaginated into the distal part. It was first described in 1674 by Barbette and successfully treated surgically in 1831 by Wilson.…”

Burkitt’s lymphoma can show in a variety of ways, and it’s frequently identified in children owing to the development of an abdominal tumor. This aggressive, fast growing tumor can induce either indirect symptoms due to pressure phenomena or direct involvement of the intestine lumen, resulting in intestinal obstruction or intussusception. We are reporting a case of intestinal intussusception in a patient with Burkitt’s lymphoma.

Clinical profile and treatment outcome of acute intussusception among children in eastern Ethiopia: A seven years retrospective study

et al. 2022

BackgroundAcute intussusception is the main cause of abdominal surgical emergencies worldwide in young children, with an incidence of approximately 1 to 4 per 2,000 children. An accurate estimate of the treatment outcomes of acute intussusception in children is unknown in low-and middle-income countries like Ethiopia. Hence, this study aimed to determine the clinical profile, treatment outcomes of acute intussusception and its associated factors among children admitted to Hiwot Fana Specialized University Hospital in eastern Ethiopia.MethodsAn institutional-based retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted from November 01 to 30, 2021, among children admitted and managed for acute intussusception. All medical records of children admitted and managed for acute intussusception at Hiwot Fana Specialized University hospital between January 2014 and December 2020 were included. Data were collected using pretested structured checklists through a review of medical records, entered and analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 25.0. Chi-square (χ2) tests were applied to determine the associated factors with treatment outcome. The statistical significance was considered at a p-value < 0.05.ResultsIn this chart review of children, 13.3% (95% CL: 11.8–14.8) died. The median age of the study participant was 13 months. The majority, 72% were male and 76% were less than 24 months old. Regarding the clinical profile; abdominal pain (94.7%), vomiting (93.3%), bloody diarrhea (70.7%), and abdominal distention (76.0%) were the most common clinical presentations. Age less than 24 months [X2 = 8.13 (df = 1); p = 0.004], preoperative vital signs [X2 = 19.21 (df = 2); p = 0.000], intraoperative findings [X2 = 18.89 (df = 1); p = 0.000], and postoperative complications [X2 = 14.60 (df = 1); p = 0.000] were significantly associated with treatment outcome of acute intussusception.ConclusionIn this chart review, the overall mortality rate in children was relatively high. One in seven children died from acute intussusception. Age less than 24 months, preoperative vital signs, intraoperative findings, and postoperative complications were significantly associated with acute intussusception treatment outcomes. Surgical management was the only treatment performed in all cases. Delayed presentation of patients and lack of other treatment modalities such as non-surgical interventions are serious concerns in this facility. The initiation of non-surgical reduction may reduce the need for surgical intervention-related complications, and child mortality.

“…About 75% of cases of intussusception in children arise from an unknown cause. Underlying pathological causes of intussusception can be identified in only 25% of cases [3]. These include Meckel's diverticulum, polyps, duplications, mesentery cysts, intestinal hematoma and lymphoma [4].…”

Intussusception is usually seen at infancy and early childhood, and majority of cases occur in children younger than 2 years. The cause of intussusceptions is typically unknown in children. We report a case of a 12-year-old boy who presented with a 1-month history of intermittent abdominal pain and was found to have an intussusceptions causing by sporadic Burkitt’s lymphoma (BL). This case demonstrates the importance of considering BL as the lead point for chronic intussusceptions, though rare, in children of an atypical age group.
