Abstract
Acute intestinal obstruction (AIO) is a frequent pathology in children, rarely encountered in adults. It represents less than 5% of acute intestinal obstructions in adults. The intussusceptions concern the small intestine in 75% of the cases and the colon in 25% of the cases.We here report a case of a 77-year-old woman who was admitted to the emergency for an occlusive syndrome. Abdominal ultrasound revealed a typical image of colo-colic intussusception with a double digestive wall visualized in the region of the right angle.It was decided to operate on the patient urgently and perform a right hemicolectomy with a double stoma connection of both colonic and ileal.Histologically, there was a benign tumor proliferation of mature adipocytes.
