Colocolic intussusception

Discussion:

Colocolic intussusception in adults is most commonly due to a neoplasm acting as leading point.

Indeed, surgery confirmed a colonic carcinoma located near the right colonic flexure as the cause of intussusception in this specific case.

The clinical presentation of this patient, without prolonged symptoms such as fatigue and anemia rather than acute abdominal pain, suggests that the identiefied intussusception was long standing.
