Abstract

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.
