ACG Case Rep J. 2018 Jul 18:5:e53. doi: 10.14309/crj.2018.53. eCollection 2018.

Abstract

Distal intestinal obstruction syndrome (DIOS) is a relatively common intestinal complication in cystic fibrosis (CF), and it can eventually lead to intussusception, a less frequent complication in CF. Intussusception is classically associated with gastrointestinal symptoms that overlap those of DIOS. We describe a young woman with oligosymptomatic intussusception diagnosed after resolution of DIOS symptoms.
