Introduction: Feeding jejunostomy is a rare cause of jejuno-jejunal intussusception, with presentations ranging from mild bowel obstruction to severe ischemia or perforation.
Case Presentation: A 21-year-old male with a recent history of feeding jejunostomy placement presented with acute upper abdominal pain, bilious vomiting, and inability to pass stool or flatus. Ultrasonography confirmed jejuno-jejunal intussusception, necessitating resection of the affected segment and jejuno-jejunal anastomosis. One year postoperatively, the patient remains asymptomatic with no recurrence.
Discussion: Review of 17 cases of jejuno-jejunal intussusception post-jejunostomy revealed abdominal pain, vomiting, and abdominal distension as common symptoms. Diagnosis relied on imaging modalities like ultrasound or CT, and surgery was the primary treatment.
Conclusion: This case underscores the importance of suspicion and timely intervention to prevent complications in patients with feeding jejunostomy presenting with obstructive symptoms.

Feeding jejunostomy is a simple and common procedure used to provide enteral nutrition. Acute intestinal intussusception on a jejunostomy tube is a rare complication that can have catastrophic consequences and often requires urgent surgical intervention. We report the case of a 45-year-old female patient with a stenosing hypopharyngeal tumor leading to complete aphagia.

Article Synopsis
- Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is a rare genetic disorder that causes gastrointestinal polyps and skin pigmentation, leading to complications like abdominal pain and intestinal obstruction from intussusception.
- A case study details a 36-year-old woman with symptoms such as flank pain and melena, who was diagnosed with PJS after imaging and surgery revealed jejuno-jejunal intussusception and multiple polyps.
- PJS stems from mutations in the STK11 gene, and regular screenings are vital for detecting cancer and monitoring polyp growth, with surgical intervention recommended for significant polyps and intussusception cases.
