title: [Intestinal invagination in adulthood].
abstract: Intussusception in adults is rare. Symptoms are often uncharacteristic. Therefore diagnosis is difficult. Diagnosis can be confirmed by radiologic and endoscopic measures. Surgical treatment consists in the resection of the struck part of the intestine according to the principles of tumor surgery. The danger of perforation rises if desinvagination is tried. It is reported about 11 own cases in which 7 neoplasms were the cause of intussusception. Two patients died of aspiration pneumonia and intracerebral hemorrhage caused by rupture of an aneurysm of the cerebri media artery.
