Adult colocolic intussusception: demonstration by conventional MR techniques

Abdom Imaging. 2004 Jan-Feb;29(1):42-4. doi: 10.1007/s00261-003-0070-6.

Abstract

Intussusception is a rare condition in adults. We report a case of a 69-year-old woman referred to our institution for lower left quadrant abdominal pain, weight loss, and occasional episodes of constipation and rectal hemorrhage. The patient underwent plain radiography, ultrasonography, and magnetic resonance imaging of the pelvis. The final diagnosis was colocolic intussusception due to a neoplastic lead point.
