[Endoscopic diagnosis of an ileocolic intussusception in an adult].
Although intussusception is the most frequent cause of intestinal obstruction in children, it only represents 5-10% of all adults. The preoperative diagnosis is difficult and it is rarely done by endoscopy. We present a case of adult ileocolic intussusception caused by an ileon terminal hamartoma. The diagnosis was done by colonoscopy.
