Intussusception is the invagionation of a segment of the intestine into itself. It is a serous condition that most commonly affects infants and children, but can also occur in adults. Intussusception in adults is usually caused by tumors, benign or malignant. Early diagnosis is essential to avoid treatment delays, which can increase morbidity and mortality. In older patinets and adolescents the diagnosis can be complicated due to lower incidence and variable subacute symptoms.
