Summary
Intussusception rarely observed in adults accounts for only 5% of all the cases and almost 1%-5% of bowel obstruction cases. The clinical presentation in adults often includes nonspecific signs and symptoms, thereby complicating differential diagnosis from other causes of abdominal pain. We report a case of 47year-old Asian man who presented to the OPD with complaints of recurrent crampy type of lower abdominal pain for the past 4 years.
