We present the case of a 76-year-old man with gastroduodenal intussusception secondary to a gastric hyperplastic polyp. Intussusception in the adult population occurs infrequently. Our patient presented with gastroduodenal intussusception, which is very uncommon and accounts for <10% of all types of intussusception. This case is unique in that partial endoscopic resection of the gastric hyperplastic polyp resolved the patient's gastroduodenal intussusception, biliary obstruction and biochemical pancreatitis without the need for surgical intervention.

Introduction And Importance: Intussusception in the proximal bowel is extremely rare, with only a few reported cases of gastroduodenal intussusception (GDI). Gastrogastric intussusception is the rarest form of intussusception in adults. Here, we present an exceptionally rare case of gastro-gastric intussusception caused by a gastric Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST).

Gastroduodenal intussusception is a rare but important cause of gastric outlet obstruction, particularly in elderly patients. We present the case of an 81-year-old female who arrived at the emergency department with complaints of epigastric pain, nausea, and vomiting. A CT scan revealed gastroduodenal intussusception, while subsequent endoscopy identified a submucosal mass, raising suspicion for either a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) or pancreatic rest.

Intussusception is a common and well-known surgical pathology. Intussusception in adults is rare, accounting for only 5% of all intussusceptions. Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are common mesenchymal tumors of the stomach that can act as a pathological lead point for intussusception.
