title: [Idiopathic intussusception in adults].
abstract: In contrast to childhood, idiopathic intussusception in adults is quite rate. We report on the diagnosis (conventional plain x-ray films, sonography, coloscopy, enema) of a clinically atypical colo-colic invagination in a 29-year old woman. Since no tumour-related cause was found, disinvagination by a water-soluble contrast enema material was successfully performed.
