Two Different Lead Points Causing Adult Intussusception: Two Case Reports with Review of Literature.
Pak J Radiol Jan ;26(4):365-9.

Intestinal invagination or intussusception is the leading cause of intestinal obstruction in children, but in adults it accounts for only 5% of all intussusceptions, and 0.003%-0.02% of all adult hospital admissions. In contrast to childhood intussusception, which is idiopathic in 90% of cases, adult intussusception has a demonstrable lead point, which is a well-definable pathological abnormality in 70%-90% of cases. This paper presents the diagnosis and management of two cases of adult intussusceptions caused by two different pathologies followed by review of literature.
