Twenty-one cases of small bowel intussusception: the pathophysiology of idiopathic intussusception and the concept of benign small bowel intussusception.

Ultrasonography (US) was used to study intussusceptions prospectively at Kiyama Hospital in 1999 and 2000 under the classification of small bowel intussusception (SBI) and large bowel or ileo-ileo-colic intussusception (LBI). The clinical features, management, outcome and etiology were analyzed. All LBIs and SBIs with ischemic symptoms and SBIs complicated by LBI were treated by enema reduction, whereas SBIs considered to be nonischemic were observed. SBI was seen in 21 patients with a mean age of 62.6+/-31.2 months. Four cases (19.0%) were diagnosed during the course of LBI. US showed mesenteric lymphoid hyperplasia in 15 (71.4%). Hydrostatic enema reduction was successful in 9/9, and SBI reduced naturally in the other 12 (benign SBI). LBI occurred in 38 patients with a mean age of 27.8+/-21.2 months. Mesenteric lymphoid hyperplasia was observed in 29 (76.3%). Hydrostatic enema reduction was successful in 37/38. SBI occurs more frequently and in a wider age group than previously considered. Many SBIs reduced naturally, suggesting that they were only transient invagination phenomena and should be called benign SBI. The frequent association of SBI with LBI and also the frequent association of mesenteric lymphoid hyperplasia with both SBI and LBI seem the key to the pathophysiology of intussusception.

Ileoileal intussusception in children: ultrasonographic differentiation from ileocolic intussusception.

BACKGROUND: The treatment of ileoileal intussusception in children differs from that of ileocolic intussusception. OBJECTIVE: To differentiate ileoileal intussusception from ileocolic intussusception using ultrasonography. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We reviewed the clinical and ultrasonographic findings in 27 patients with intussusception between September 2003 and July 2005. For statistical analysis the Mann-Whitney test was applied. RESULTS: Regarding ileoileal intussusceptions, 11 were documented in ten patients (seven boys, three girls; mean age 3.1 years). Symptoms suggestive of intussusception were present in nine patients. The mean diameter was 1.5 cm (range 1.1-2.5 cm) and length 2.5 cm (range 1.5-6.0 cm). The intussusceptions were located in the paraumbilical region (n=6), the right upper quadrant (n=2), the right lower quadrant (n=2), and the left lower quadrant (n=1). Regarding ileocolic intussusceptions, 16 were documented in 14 patients (13 boys, 1 girl; mean age 1.9 years). All patients had symptoms suggestive of intussusception. The mean diameter was 3.7 cm (range 3.0-5.5 cm) and mean length was 8.2 cm (range 5.0-12.5 cm). All intussusceptions were located in the right side of the abdomen. The difference in diameter and length between ileoileal and ileocolic intussusceptions was statistically significant (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Unlike clinical symptoms, ultrasonography can differentiate between ileoileal and ileocolic intussusception. The diameter and length of the intussusception are the main criteria.

Rotavirus vaccination and intussusception: can we decrease temporally associated background cases of intussusception by restricting the vaccination schedule?

OBJECTIVE: The first rotavirus vaccine that was licensed in the United States, RotaShield, could have prevented the enormous burden of rotavirus diarrhea in American children but left instead the unfortunate legacy that live oral rotavirus vaccines may be associated with a serious but rare adverse event: intussusception. Although large trials indicate that the next generation of rotavirus vaccines is not associated with this complication, many children likely will develop intussusception by chance alone in the 2-week window after immunization, raising concerns about whether these cases might be "caused" by the vaccine. Our objective for this study was to model and compare the number of temporally associated intussusception events that are expected by chance alone under 2 rotavirus vaccination strategies. METHODS: We used national vaccine coverage rates and age-specific incidence of intussusception by months to model the number of temporally associated cases of intussusception that are expected by chance alone for 2 potential vaccination strategies: a strict schedule, limiting immunization to children within 1 month of the designated age for each dose (ie, 60-89, 120-149, and 180-209 days for doses 1, 2, and 3, respectively) versus a free schedule whereby infants are immunized whenever they appear for their routine vaccines up to 1 year of age. RESULTS: The number of intussusception events during the 2-week postvaccination window was 24% lower for the strict versus the free schedule (138 vs 182, respectively). This reduction was attributable largely to the smaller number of infants who were immunized fully under the strict schedule (vaccine coverage for 3 doses, 67% vs 89%). The cumulative risk for intussusception's occurring by chance in the 2-week postvaccination window essentially was the same between schedules (4.59 vs 4.76 per 100000 doses). Most cases occurred after the second or third dose. CONCLUSIONS: Although an age-restricted vaccination schedule substantially reduced the number of intussusception events that were observed in the 2-week postvaccination window when compared with a schedule with fewer restrictions, this decrease was attributable to a lower rate of vaccine coverage rather than a safer schedule of vaccination. The risk for intussusception did not differ significantly between vaccination strategies. Public health policy and education messages for physicians and parents should be developed to anticipate intussusception events that will occur by chance alone but are temporally related to rotavirus vaccination.

Intussusception: the use of delayed, repeated reduction attempts and the management of intussusceptions due to pathologic lead points in pediatric patients.

OBJECTIVE: The nonoperative management of intussusception continues to evolve and is the subject of ongoing debate. Our purpose was to assess our current enema reduction rate and to focus on two specific issues that have received little attention in the literature: first, the value and safety of using delayed, repeated reduction attempts and, second, the management of intussusceptions due to lead points. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We performed a retrospective analysis of all intussusception cases seen at the Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Canada, a tertiary pediatric hospital, from May 1999 to December 2002. RESULTS: There were 163 children with a total of 219 intussusceptions. Enema reduction was attempted in 211 (96%). Reduction rate with air enema was 90.2%. Delayed reduction attempts were used in 25 patients (15.3%) in 26 intussusceptions (12.3%) and were successful in 50% of the cases. Lead points were documented in 13 children (8%); sonography depicted the lead points in seven (53.8%) of the 13. The reduction rate of intussusceptions due to lead points was 63.6% (14/22). CONCLUSION: Air enema associated with the use of delayed, repeated reduction attempts is a safe and effective approach for intussusception reduction with a high success rate. Delayed, repeated reduction attempts should be considered when the initial attempt manages to move the intussusceptum and the patient remains clinically stable. The management of intussusceptions due to lead points remains a challenge. Sonography does not depict all lead points, and the indication for other imaging studies should be tailored according to each particular patient. We recommend attempted enema reduction in all patients with lead points.

Retrograde intussusception: a lead-point for prograde intussusception.

Retrograde intussusception is an extremely rare entity. The authors report a case of retrograde jejuno-jejunal intussusception in a 12 year old. The features of interest are (1) the retrograde intussusception mass acting as a lead-point for a second prograde jejuno-jejunal intussusception, (2) the anastomotic suture line of a previous resection-anastomosis acting as the lead-point for the retrograde intussusception, and (3) the presence of a "reverse claw sign" (on a barium meal study) caused by the intussusceptum of the retrograde intussusception.

A case of cecocolic intussusception with complete invagination and intussusception of the appendix with villous adenoma.

Villous adenoma of the appendix is a rare neoplasm and intussusception of the appendix is a rare pathologic condition. A very rare case seen in a 35-year-old male with pain in the right lateral abdomen is reported. In this patient, the appendix along with the villous adenoma intussuscepted and invaginated into the cecal lumen, and presented as cecocolic intussusception. A polypoid lesion was diagnosed in the cecum by fiberoptic colonoscopy. Unlike polypoid lesions at other sites in the large intestine, polypoid lesions of the cecum may accompany intussusception and invagination of the appendix. Consequently, caution is required in performing endoscopic polypectomy in cases of polypoid lesions of the cecum.

Adult intussusception; case report of recurrent intussusception and review of the literature.

An unusual case of lymphoma is presented in which small bowel intussusception due to a lymphomatous nodule caused an acute abdomen, requiring small bowel resection. Four weeks later a second intussusception caused intestinal obstruction, necessitating a second laparotomy and bowel resection. The high incidence of malignant tumor in adult cases leads us to recommend primary resection without manual reduction in all but rectosigmoid and selected small bowel cases.

[Contribution of imaging in intestinal intussusception in the adult. Apropos of a case of ileocolic intussusception secondary to cecal lipoma].

On the basis of a case of ileocolonic intussusception in a 35-year-old patient secondary to an obstructive lipoma of the caecum, the authors review the literature and discuss the clinical and radiological aspects of this disease. The diagnosis was established by CT scan and barium enema before surgery. Adult intussusception is a rare disease, which does not have any specific clinical features. Radiological imaging is the only complementary investigation which can suggest the diagnosis.
