- Abstract
Gastroduodenal intussusception is a rare presentation in adults. A mass lesion in the stomach typically acts as a lead point that invaginates into the pylorus and duodenum causing intussusception. In a subset of these cases, episodic symptoms of obstruction occur because of intermittent prolapse of the lesion, termed "ball-valve syndrome." We present a 73-year-old woman with intermittent abdominal pain and nausea who was discovered to have gastroduodenal intussusception secondary to a large prolapsing fundic adenoma through the pylorus and into the duodenum. The case highlights this rare complication from gastric lesions along with the importance of surgical intervention for definitive management.
