Abstract:BackgroundIntestinal intussusception is a rare cause of abdominal pain in adults and stands for only 5% of all cases with acute abdominal pain.

Therefore, it is mandatory to evaluate the risk of bowel intussusception when there is lack of evidence to explain constipation symptoms in adults.
