Colonic intussusception after endoscopic mucosal resection successfully managed by endoscopic procedure

© 2024. Japanese Society of Gastroenterology..

Adult-onset intussusception, particularly associated with colonoscopy, is extremely rare. A 78-year-old man, referred to our hospital for colonic endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR), experienced subsequent dull abdominal pain, as well as elevated peripheral blood leukocytosis and C-reactive protein levels. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) revealed a colocolonic intussusception at the hepatic flexure. Emergency colonoscopy revealed ball-like swollen mucosa distal to the EMR site of the ascending colon. The mucosa was intact without necrosis. The endoscopic approach was able to temporarily release the intussusception. A transanal drainage tube was inserted through the endoscope to prevent relapse. Both CT and colonoscopy showed release of the intussusception. Our case underscores the importance of considering colocolonic intussusception in post-colonoscopy abdominal pain, advocating for endoscopic management after excluding mucosal necrosis.
