Intussusception is a leading cause of acute intestinal obstruction in infants, typically presenting with a classic triad of intermittent abdominal pain, vomiting, and currant jelly stools.

This report describes a seven-month-old male with an unusual presentation of lethargy and irritability, without overt gastrointestinal symptoms.

Intussusception in adults is a rare condition often associated with a pathological lead point, which is frequently malignant but can occasionally be benign, such as colonic lipomas. We report the case of a 60-year-old male who presented with colicky abdominal pain, and a computed tomography (CT) revealed a colo-colic intussusception caused by a 6 cm lipoma in the transverse colon, accompanied by ischemic changes in the colonic mucosa. The patient underwent a right hemicolectomy, and histopathology confirmed the benign nature of the lesion.

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is a bariatric surgical procedure commonly performed in adults to treat severe obesity.

We report a case of intussusception in a 74-year-old female patient who underwent RYGB 12 years prior.
