title: The inadvertent CT demonstration of intussusception.
abstract: We report a patient with idiopathic ceco-colic intussusception diagnosed by computed tomography (CT). Due to an unusual set of circumstances, the accepted algorithm of diagnostic investigations was not followed. This led to the inadvertent CT demonstration of an intussusception in an adult as a thick-walled mass containing a multiplicity of barium and gas-filled loops.
