Abstract


SUMMARY

Intussusception in adult is a rare and the management of this is still controversy. We report such a case of recurrent proximal small bowel intussusception in an adult which has variable appearances on Computed Tomography and laparotomy findings. Intussusception can recur again if underlying caused was not treated or removed. Surgical intervention with treatment or removal underlying cause of intussusception in adult is suggested to prevent recurrent of intussusception.

Key words: Computed Tomography, adult, recurrent intussusception, laparotomy
