- Abstract
Bowel's intussusception is not a frequent condition in adults, accounting for approximately 1-5% of bowel's obstruction cases in this age group. Among children it is often idiopathic, while its etiology in adults, in most cases, results from structural injuries. This article reports a case of a 51-year-old man, who entered the emergency room complaining about abdominal pain and other symptoms consistent with intestinal obstruction, being diagnosed during surgery with bowel's intussusception, but without setting any defined cause for it, even after the pathological examination.
