Objective: To describe the nonsurgical management of prolapsed colocolic intussusception in 2 puppies.
Case Summary: Two 3-month-old male intact puppies (Pug and Labrador Retriever) developed intussusceptions that had prolapsed from the anus after they had suffered from tenesmus with soft feces or diarrhea. Reduction of the prolapsed tissue was performed and colocolic intussusception was diagnosed ultrasonographically in 1 dog. Rectal manipulation and saline enema were performed in both dogs, and reduction of the intussusception was confirmed endoscopically or ultrasonographically. Bupivacaine and prednisolone foam enemas were administered to reduce tenesmus. Abdominal ultrasonography the following day in 1 dog confirmed a normal appearing colon. No further tenesmus was noted in 1 dog; the other had a brief rectal prolapse after an episode of tenesmus that was manually reduced. Intussusception had not recurred 4 months and 1 year following manual reduction procedures.
New Or Unique Information Provided: This is the first report of successful nonsurgical management of colocolic intussusception in a companion animal. Nonsurgical management is a first-line treatment of intussusception in children and could be considered in dogs with colocolic intussusception. Further investigation is required to define specific aspects, including rectal manipulation, saline enema, or anesthesia, that aid in resolution of this type of intussusception.

Article Synopsis
- Adult intussusception (AI) is a rare condition in patients over 18 that presents with various symptoms, often requiring surgical treatment, and is primarily diagnosed using CT scans.
- A study of 26 cases revealed that the condition is more common in males with an average age of 53, where the most frequent symptom is abdominal pain; however, bleeding per rectum is notably linked to more severe, malignant causes.
- Understanding the characteristics and predictive factors of AI can help in managing the condition effectively, emphasizing the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in treatment strategies.

Introduction And Importance: Intestinal intussusception is rare in adults and often associated with underlying malignancies. In this case, a colo-colic intussusception involving the descending colon caused acute obstruction, ischemic pain, and carried a high risk for peritonitis, necessitating urgent surgical intervention to prevent severe complications.
Case Presentation: We report the case of a 50-year-old male who presented with acute abdominal obtruction and a three-day history of fecal vomiting, left-sided abdominal pain, and recent rectal bleeding.

Article Synopsis
- * Imaging techniques, especially ultrasound, are essential for detecting this condition due to their effectiveness in identifying its specific features.
- * A case study of a 9-month-old boy demonstrated colocolic intussusception with no clear cause, leading to tissue damage that required surgical removal and reconnection of the affected colon segments.

Intussusception is a rare condition in adults that occurs when a segment of the bowel telescopes into the lumen of the more distal segment. Colocolic intussusception accounts for only 8.3-38% of all intussusception cases in adults, the majority due to malignant causes such as adenocarcinoma, lymphoma, leiomyosarcoma, undifferentiated carcinoma.

Intussusception in adult patients is a rare medical finding, which is accompanied by an underlying tumor in some cases. However, no accepted method has been established to identify patients at risk for tumor-related intussusception. This study aimed to identify imaging features as predictors for tumor-related intussusception.
