Abstract

Adult intussusception is rare, making-up only about 1% of the causes of bowel obstruction intussusception, secondary to an inverted Meckel's diverticulum, is also a rare occurrence. Chronic abdominal pain, lower gastrointestinal bleeding, and recurrent obstructive symptoms may lead to an unnecessary delay in diagnosis. This case report describes a rare cause of adult intestinal intussusception due to inverted Meckel's diverticulum. Intussusception was diagnosed on emergency ultrasound of the patient, who was successfully managed with surgery.
