Patients and method: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted between May 2011 and April 2016 at CHU-YO. All patients with 16 years of age and older operated on for intussusception were included. Results: Thirty patients were identified, 15 men and as many women. Their average age was 37.3 years. A higher frequency was noted between 30 and 39 years. The installation of the symptomatology was insidious in 22 cases and brutal in 8 cases. The reasons for consultation were abdominal pain (30 cases), vomiting (19 cases), intestinal transit stop (18 cases) and rectorrhagia (9 cases). Physical examination noted an abdominal mass in 11 cases and a localized abdominal tenderness in 7 cases. An intussusception coil was identified on ultrasound in 9 cases. All patients underwent surgery under general anesthesia and the approach was laparotomy. Intraoperatively, the intussusception was ileocolic in 15 cases;a right hemi-colectomy was performed. It was colo-colic intussusception in 10 cases and the treatment thus consisted of a left hemi-colectomy. In other 5 cases, intussusception was ileal, requiring ileal resection. The average hospital stay was 11.7 days. Pathologically, the examination was normal in 2 cases. A colic tumor was found in 14 cases and an ileum tumor in 6 cases. In the other 8 cases, it was an inflammatory aspect of the intestine. Conclusion: In tropical Burkina Faso, adult intussusception often occurs on an intestinal tumor. The symptomatology is atypical.展开更多

In the vast majority of cases, it is secondary to a benign or malignant tumor. Small bowel malignancies are relatively rare, 1% - 5% of malignant tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. Acute intussusception, a rare pathology in adults, often presents with non-specific symptoms. Contrary to children, the organic origin remains preponderant in the elderly, where the origin of neoplasia must be suspected in first intention. We report the case of a 49-year-old patient admitted urgently from the Luxembourg “Mère Enfant” hospital center in Bamako, Mali, for an occlusive syndrome. Several abdomino-pelvic ultrasounds were performed in several clinics with mixed conclusions: Hydro-aeric distension and a cessation of matter and gas without a clearly visible mass (04/09/2022);Demonstration of the central hydro-aeric levels wider than high containing fine and regular folds corresponding to connivents whose aspect is in factor of left acute small intestine occlusion, to be completed by the surgical opinion (06/09/2022) and a third ultrasound showed a normal appearance of the liver, gallbladder, kidneys, pancreas, spleen, bladder and prostate;diffuse aero-colic distention without lesion of secondary appearance (21/11/2022). A frontal standing ASP dated 11/25/2022 showed hail-like hydro-aeric levels. Surgical management consisted of an open oncological resection of an obstructive bowel tumor with ileo-ileal invagination. The anatomopathological and immunohistochemical study of the surgical specimen concluded to diffuse small cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, without vascular embolism. The resection limits pass into the healthy zone.展开更多
