Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Jejunojejunal intussusception is a rare surgical condition. It is an abnormal invagination of a part of the jejunum into the section immediately ahead of it. It can be caused by enlarged lymph mode, polyps, viral infections and malignancies. We report a case of jejunojejunal intussusception caused by hamartomatous polyp in 24-year-old female patient who presented with chronic abdominal pain and vomiting. The patient's medical history, physical examination and radiological testing helped us reach the diagnosis of jejunojejunal intussusception. The patient underwent laparotomy, manual reduction of the affected small bowel and resection of the bowel containing the intraluminal mass. The recovery was uneventful.
