Title: | Multiple Small Bowel Intussusceptions Detected by Diagnostic Laparoscopy in an Adult Patient with Previously Undiagnosed Coeliac Disease | Authors: | Saliu, Valon Ulusoy, Cemal Nikolovski, Andrej |
Issue Date: | 16-Jun-2022 | Publisher: | SMC Media | Journal: | European Journal of Case Reports in Internal Medicine | Abstract: | Enteric intussusception in adults is usually associated with the presence of a lead point seen on abdominal computerized tomography. However, as intussusception in coeliac disease may not have a lead point, a surgical procedure is often indicated in order to exclude small bowel tumour. We present the case of a male patient who presented with asymptomatic small bowel intussusception. During exploratory laparoscopy, five enteric intussusceptions were detected and a suspicion for coeliac disease was raised. Postoperative duodenal biopsy and CD3 immunohistochemical staining confirmed the diagnosis of coeliac disease, Marsh type 1.</jats:p> | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12188/20984 | DOI: | 10.12890/2022_003391 |
