Appendiceal intussusception is rare with an estimated incidence of 0.01%. Although it is infrequently encountered, the few documented cases of this entity have shown it may mimic or indicate an underlying neoplasm when evaluated with colonoscopy. With the abundant use of multi-detector CT and increased utility of CT colonography, awareness of the radiologic findings of this condition has become increasingly important. Appendiceal intussusception, while potentially pathologic in its own right, may mimic or even coexist with other pathologies, both malignant and benign. We present a case of adult appendiceal intussusception without a "lead point" that was successfully diagnosed by CT imaging.

Article Synopsis
- Intestinal intussusception is a rare condition in adults, especially in young females, characterized by one part of the intestine folding into another, causing bowel obstruction and potential blood supply issues.
- A case report details a 25-year-old female who experienced severe abdominal pain and vomiting; imaging revealed intussusception and a right appendiceal cyst, leading to surgical treatment after conservative methods failed.
- The case underscores the need for quick diagnosis using imaging techniques like CT scans for intussusception in adults, emphasizing that early intervention is crucial for effective management.

Background: Intussusception of the appendiceal endometriosis is rare. Although approximately 200 cases of appendiceal intussusception have been reported in the literature, very few have ever been diagnosed preoperatively. Here, we report the case of intussusception of the appendiceal endometriosis with laparoscopic ileocecal resection.
