Adult colorectal intussusception caused by giant lipoma —A case report
We present a case of colorectal intussusception caused by a giant lipoma.AbstractIntussusception in adults is comparatively infrequent in contrast to children, and in adult colonic intussusception, malignancy is the predominant cause of the leading point. Lipoma, an uncommon tumor in the gastrointestinal tract, rarely induces colonic intussusception in adults. We present the case of a 55-year-old Cambodian man experiencing cramping abdominal pain. He presented with mild abdominal distension with tenderness in the lower abdomen. On the rectal examination a large palpable mass was detected three to four centimeters from the ...

Trends in childhood intussusception in a Nigerian tertiary hospital
Conclusions: Contribution of successful non-operative treatment to the overall treatment of intussusception significantly increased while that of operative manual reduction significantly reduced and bowel resection showed no change. Preoperative utilization of ultrasonography significantly increased while mean duration of admission reduced significantly, but late presentation, morbidity and mortality rates had no significant changes.Keywords: Trends; childhood; intussusception; Nigerian; tertiary hospital.

A POCUS-first pathway to streamline care for children with suspected ileocolic intussusception
CONCLUSIONS: Implementation of a "POCUS-first" pathway for managing ileocolic intussusception led to notable improvements in process efficiency. The shorter physician initial assessment to reduction time highlights the potential for expedited decision-making and intervention. These study findings support the potential of this pathway to optimize the management and outcomes of children with ileocolic intussusception.PMID:38538954 | DOI:10.1007/s43678-024-00673-9 (Source: Pain Physician)
