ABRAHAM-MENDOZA, Saúl et al. Intususception of ileal stump, case report and literature review. Gac. mex. oncol. [online]. 2019, vol.18, suppl.1, pp.52-55. Epub Oct 17, 2022. ISSN 2565-005X. https://doi.org/10.24875/j.gamo.19000090.
Introduction:
Intussusception is rare in adults, and is characterized by intermittent abdominal pain.
Case report:
A 50-year-old female with a diagnosis of rectal cancer who underwent an ultra-low anterior resection and colo-rectum anastomosis with Brooke-type ileostomy. In the postoperative period, she presented nonspecific abdominal pain, with functional ileostomy without alterations; after adjuvant treatment, restitution of intestinal transit was performed, finding an intussusception in the ileal stump.
Discussion and review of the literature:
Intussusception of the ileal stump is a very rare event with no reports of similar events in the literature.
Keywords : Intussusception; Ileostomy; Abdominal pain; Rectal cancer.
