Adult idiopathic enteric intussusception in the postoperative period. Case report.
Enteric intussusception developed in a 43-year-old man 13 days after operation for mechanical intestinal obstruction. No leading point of the invagination was found. The case may thus be classified as idiopathic intussusception occurring in the postoperative period. To our knowledge this condition has not previously been described.
