 Case reportSmall bowel intussusception with the Meckel's diverticulum after blunt abdominal trauma: a case report author email corresponding author email
World Journal of Emergency Surgery 2009,
4:18doi:10.1186/1749-7922-4-18 Abstract
Intussusception with the Meckel's diverticulum is a rare but well-known cause of small bowel obstruction in the adult. After blunt abdominal trauma, intussusception is exceedingly rare and has been reported previously only in few cases. We present a case of a previously healthy 28-year-old man developing four days after blunt abdominal trauma signs of small bowel obstruction. Ileo-ileal intussusception was suggested by computed tomography. Exploration revealed ileo-ileal intussusception with Meckel's diverticulum. A diverticulectomy with small bowel resection was performed. |
