Abstract

BACKGROUND: Ileal intussusception is rare in adults, in contrast to the incidence in children. In this article we discuss the disease by evaluating four patients with ileal intussusception. METHODS: A retrospective review was performed at Deparment of Surgery of Akdeniz University School of Medicine to identify adult patients who had been operated with diagnosis of ileal intussusception. Data related to presentation, diagnosis, treatment and pathology were analyzed. RESULTS: Four patients were operated with a diagnosis of ileal intussusception. Three of them presented with signs and symptoms of mechanical intestinal obstruction and one of them presented with chronic gastrointestinal symptoms. In a patient, the intussusseption was associated with an ileal lipom, whereas in another patient an ileal polyp was the etiological factor. Two patients had intussusseption without any lesion. All of patients were treated operatively and en bloc resection was performed. CONCLUSION: Ileal intussussepitoin presents with a variety of non-specific gastrointestinal symptoms, thus the preoperative diagnosis is difficult. It must be considered in patients who presents with mechanical intestinal obstruction. Surgical resection of the intussusseption without any reduction is the preferred surgical treatment, regarding that most of ileal intussusseptions are associated with benign or malign lesions.

Özet

AMAÇ: Pediyatrik olguların aksine erişkinde ileal intussussepsiyon nadir görülmektedir. Bu yazıda ileal intussussepsiyonlu erişkin dört olguya ait sonuçları sunmayı amaçladık. GEREÇ-YÖNTEM: Akdeniz Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Genel Cerrahi Anabilim Dalında ileal intussussepsiyon tanısıyla ameliyat edilen erişkin hastalara ait bilgiler retrospektif olarak hasta dosyalarından edinildi. Başvuru bulguları, tanı, tedavi ve patoloji ile ilgili bilgiler kaydedilerek sonuçlar değerlendirildi. BULGULAR: İleal intussussepsiyon nedeniyle dört hasta ameliyat edildi. Üç hasta mekanik intestinal obstrüksiyon tablosuyla, bir hasta kronik gastrointestinal şikayetlerle başvurdu. İki hastada neden idyopatik intussussepsiyon, bir hastada ileal polip, diğer hastada da ileal lipom idi. Tedavide tüm hastalara rezeksiyon uygulandı. SONUÇ: İleal intussussepsiyon klinik bulguların çeşitlilik göstermesi ve spesifik olmaması nedeniyle zor tanı konulan bir hastalıktır. Mekanik bağırsak tıkanıklığı olan hastalarda ayırıcı tanıda düşünülmesi gereklidir. İntussusepsiyon sıklıkla benin ya da malin ileal bir lezyona bağlı olduğu için tedavide cerrahi girişime öncelik verilmelidir.
