Aim: To determine the clinico-demographic profile, radiological and operative findings, and postoperative course of patients with IH and its association with SBO.

Article Synopsis
  • - Intussusception in adults is rare, with ileocolic being the most common type and duodenal intussusception (DI) being the rarest; this study discusses five adult cases of DI, highlighting their presentation, diagnosis, and treatment.
  • - The patients, primarily women aged 18-45, mainly presented with gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) and weight loss, all diagnosed via contrast-enhanced CT scans with benign polyps identified as lead points requiring surgical intervention.
  • - Surgical treatment varied, with some patients receiving local excision and others undergoing more extensive procedures like pancreaticoduodenectomy; post-operative recovery was generally smooth, emphasizing the importance of anatomical knowledge for managing this complex condition.
