Adult intussusception induced by the stump of the jejunal loop after liver transplantation.
Intussusception occurs rarely in adults compared with children, and in the case of adults, some organic disease, such as a benign or malignant tumor, can be found at the leading edge of the intussusception in about 90% of adult cases. This study reports a case of adult intussusception in which the stump of the jejunal loop in a Roux-en-Y bilioenteric reconstruction acted as a leading tip of the intussusception.
