Abstract
Introduction: The intestinal intussusception is defined as a telescoping of an intestinal segment within another showing a cause to do so in about 90% of cases when it affects adults, unlike what occurs in children. Although it represents a rare cause of hospital admission, can present clinical acute abdomen or chronic and intermittent symptoms of abdominal pain. Case report: Case 1: Female patient, 49, with acute abdominal pain associated with vomiting and mild leukocytosis. CT image showed on target and during surgery checked intussusception between the descending colon and sigmoid. Case 2: Male patient, 65 years complaining of chronic abdominal pain and intermittent melena with colonoscopy showing great aspect of polypoid lesion in ascending colon occupying 90% of the light, crispy and ulcerations covered by fibrin and computed tomography with intussusception image. Underwent right hemicolectomy. Conclusion: It emphasizes the need to be suggested intestinal intussusception hypothesis primarily in cases of chronic and intermittent symptoms of abdominal pain and intestinal subocclusion in settings.b
