A comprehensive approach towards intussusceptions in 61- year-old female: A case report

Intussusceptions are a common condition seen in children and are rarely seen in adults the etiology is not clearly understood the common know etiology for intussusceptions are polyps, Mikel's diverticulum, carcinomas and idiopathic. The patient presents with nonspecific abdominal pain, vomiting, loss of weight, emaciation, weakness, diarrhoea and in long-standing may lead to anorexia. Due to the low specificity of radiographs, USG is the more specific diagnostic tool for locating the intussusceptions. Here we present a 61-year -old patient who reported to the hospital with pain in the abdomen for two months on clinical examination and USG the patient showed signs of ileocecal intussusceptions which was managed by surgical resection and followed by medication post-operatively the patient was observed for 20 days and the sutures were removed and the patient was discharged. We conclude that surgical resection in the cases of ileocecal intussusceptions proved to be the most effective tool for relieving the symptoms and improving the functionality of the patient.
