  • Title: [Computed tomographic diagnosis of an ileocolic invagination in an adult].
    Author: Gaa J, Deininger HK.
    Journal: Radiologe; 1989 Aug; 29(8):382-5. PubMed ID: 2798851.
    Abstract:
    Intussusception is an uncommon cause of intestinal obstruction in adults. Unlike children, the diagnosis of intussusception in adults is often difficult due to its usually chronic history. A case of adult ileocolic intussusception secondary to metastatic melanoma is presented to discuss the efficiency of ultrasonography, characteristic CT features and the etiology of this disease.
