title: Adult colocolic intussusception: demonstration by conventional MR techniques.
abstract: Intussusception is a rare condition in adults. We report a case of a 69-year-old woman referred to our institution for lower left quadrant abdominal pain, weight loss, and occasional episodes of constipation and rectal hemorrhage. The patient underwent plain radiography, ultrasonography, and magnetic resonance imaging of the pelvis. The final diagnosis was colocolic intussusception due to a neoplastic lead point.
