摘要
BACKGROUND: Intussusception refers to the telescoping of a proximal segment of bowel into a distal segment. It is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction in adulthood. CASE DETAILS: We report two cases of adult intussusception in a post-operative period following Caesarean Section (with no lead point) and Appendicectomy (due to colonic adenocarcinoma) respectively. CONCLUSION: Though rare in adulthood, intussusception should be considered as a differential diagnosis to bowel obstruction in adults even in the post-operative period.
