Abstract
Intussusception as the initial presentation of coeliac disease has been rarely reported, with an incidence of 1% in all coeliac disease presentations. Furthermore, intussusception requiring surgical reduction as the primary presentation for coeliac disease in adults is even rarer. Presented here is a case of a 37-year-old female Asian patient who presented with abdominal pain and distension; she was diagnosed with small bowel obstruction due to jejunojejunal intussusception and required surgical reduction as the initial presentation of coeliac disease.
