BACKGROUND
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) has been the most common surgical operation used to treat obesity and its inherent co-morbidities. Intussusception with bowel obstruction after RYGB is a rare complication and its physiopathology remains unclear. The diagnosis is generally based on typical
Introduction. Intussusception after bariatric surgery is an uncommon complication that is now being frequently reported. Most people consider dysmotility to be the causative mechanism in the absence of obvious etiology. Material and Methods. A worldwide search identified literature describing
BACKGROUND Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is an autosomal disease caused either by deficiency or presence of a non-functioning C1 inhibitor. The lack or non-functionality of said inhibitors leads to activation of an inflammatory cascade, which result in cutaneous and mucosal edema. Most patients with
Jejunogastric intussusception is a rare complication after gastric surgery. The authors report a case of acute jejunogastric intussusception diagnosed in a 57-year-old woman, 22 years after vagotomy and gastroenterostomy for duodenal ulcer. There are three types of jejunogastric intussusception: 1)

Intussusception is usually seen in the pediatric age group and rarely seen in adults. It results in the progression of the proximal segment of the intestine into the distal intestine. A 50-year-old immunosuppressive male patient presented with the complaints of abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and
BACKGROUND
The pathoetiology and outcomes of intussusception in older children are different from those in young children. This study aims to investigate the characteristics and outcomes of intussusception in children older than 5 years in a tertiary referring hospital.
METHODS
A retrospective
Intussusception in adults is a rare entity that it is generally caused by definable intraluminal pathology. We report four cases of adult intussusception caused by lymphoma of the terminal ileum (2), an inflamed appendix (1) and a mucosal polyp (1). All presented with a variety of nonspecific and
Intussusception occurs when a proximal segment of intestine invaginates into a distal segment. It is a common cause of intestinal obstruction in children but is infrequent in adults. A 77-year-old woman presented with a 1-month history of intermittent abdominal pain associated with nausea and
Rationale: Blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome (BRBNS) is an extremely rare disorder characterized by multifocal venous malformations involving various organs such as the skin and gastrointestinal tract. Severe complications of BRBNS, such as
Intussusception of the jejuno-jejunal anastomosis is a rare complication of the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP). There are only 3 previous cases reported in the surgical literature. We describe 2 adults who developed jejuno-jejunal intussusception requiring emergent laparotomy several months after
A 31-year-old woman who had successfully undergone bariatric surgery (gastric bypass with Roux-en-Y anastamosis) three years earlier presented with complaints of acute epigastric abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Computed tomography (CT) showed small bowel intussusception, and the patient was
Intussusception of the defunctionalized intestinal segment following jejuno-ileal bypass for obesity has rarely been reported. Persistent crampy abdominal pain (often accompanied by nausea and vomiting) and normal radiologic evaluation are suggestive of this entity. The routine use of silver clips,
BACKGROUND
Jejuno-jejunal (J-J) intussusception is a rare complication after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Prompt diagnosis is critical as it may lead to obstruction and bowel necrosis, but clinical presentation is nonspecific. A definitive treatment plan has not been established with
