Retrograde jejunogastric intussusceptions: A rare case report

Introduction: Retrograde jejunogastric intussusception is a rare acute abdominal condition where the small bowel loops get incarcerated and may get strangulated inside the stomach. Case Report: We report one such rare case of a 50­year­old female who had retrograde jejunogastric intussusception following gastrojejunostomy and outline our treatment. Conclusion: Retrograde jejunogastric intussusception is a rare acute abdominal condition which is a rare complication after gastric surgery. The presence of a mobile mass associated with nausea and vomiting in a patient with previous history of gastric surgery is virtually pathognomic of acute retrograde intussusception. A high degree of suspicion is required for pre­operative diagnosis of the case which should be followed by prompt surgery.
