Intussusception as a complication of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome

A 19-year-old male patient presented with abdominal pain associated with a relapse of minimal change disease (serum creatinine: 90 μmol/l; albumin: 1.6 g/dl; proteinuria: 7.8 g/g). A right iliac fossa ileo–ileal intussusception was found on the computed tomography (CT) scan (Figure 1). The pain subsided with administration of paracetamol but recurred 2 days later. A second CT scan showed 2 other right lumbar jejuno–jejuna l intussusceptions, and 1 upper-left-quadrant ileo–ileal intussusception, but the right iliac fossa ileo–ileal intussusception was no longer visible (Figure 2).
