[Spontaneous acute intussusception in a pregnant woman].
Acute intussusception in adults is rare and particularly so in pregnant women (between 1 / 5000 and 1 / 68,000 deliveries). It is a life-threatening condition for both the mother and the fetus. In adults, such intussusceptions are mainly secondary to an intestinal disease and frequently a tumour. We describe here a case of spontaneous intussusception during pregnancy and surgical management of the condition. We also analyse the causes specific to pregnancy.
