  • Title: Intussusception caused by a heterotopic pancreas. Case report and literature review.
    Author: Chandra N, Campbell S, Gibson M, Reece-Smith H, Mee A.
    Journal: JOP; 2004 Nov 10; 5(6):476-9. PubMed ID: 15536284.
    Abstract:
    CONTEXT: Intussusception in adults is rare, accounting for 0.1% of adult hospital admissions. In contrast to this, it is the leading cause of obstruction in children. In up to 90% of adults a cause can usually be found, but in children this is rarely the case. CASE REPORT: We report the case of a 27-year-old lady with a subacute bowel obstruction caused by a jejunal heterotopic pancreas and describe its successful surgical management. CONCLUSION: The causes of intussusception in adults are discussed in the literature review.
