Jejunojejunal Intussusception: An Unusual Complication After Feeding Jejunostomy

Intussusception in adults is a rare entity and accounts for 1 % of small intestinal obstruction and up to 5 % of all cases of intussusception [1]. A definitive organic lesion is found in 90 % of adult intussusception. Postoperative intussusception is a distinct entity which may be idiopathic or associated with mucosal, intramural or extrinsic lead points. These include polyps, lipoma, carcinoids, meckels’ diverticulum, melanoma metastasis, lymphoma, suture lines, adhesions, submucosal bowel edema, intestinal dysmotility, long intestinal feeding tubes and chronic dilatation of bowel [2, 3]. We present an unusual cause of intussusception after gastrectomy for gastric cancer.
