title: [Intestinal intussusception in adults. Apropos of 8 cases].
abstract: Traditionally considered the revealing sign of an organic lesion in adults, intestinal intussusception has been reported to be generally idiopathic in African series. The authors analyze 8 cases in adults, of which 6 were idiopathic. Intestinal resection was required in 7 of 8 cases. Mortality was 25%, and linked to intestinal necrosis.
