A case of actue jejuno-gastric intussusception diagnosed at gastroscopy is described. The patient had undergone a Polya gastrectomy eight years previously. Other reported cases have been discovered by radiology or at surgery. Endoscopy is the method of choice to diagnose this uncommon, but important condition.

Two cases of villoglandular adenoma of the duodenum presenting with features of peptic ulcer are reported. At surgery both patients had intussusception of the duodenum. One of them had carcinoma in situ. The literature is briefly reviewed, and the importance of keeping in mind this rather rare condition, even in areas where duodenal ulcer is widely prevalent, is emphasized.

Intestinal metastase from a malignant melanoma are rare and raise difficult diagnostic problems especially when far from the initial tumour. Although acute intussusception is the usual clinical presentation, one should recognise the possibility of atypical symptoms: e.g. repeated digestive hemorrhage or resistant anemia. A sutdy of past history may lead to the discovery of a malanoma. Treatment is unfortunately surgical and palliative to releave the complication.

A total of 600 cases, comprising 4 of our cases and 596 others in Japan, was analyzed, and the diagnosis of Meckel's diverticulum was made in only 34 of them. The rate of diagnosis was 5.7 per cent, which is very low. The most common complication of this disease was intestinal obstruction, the second most common was intussusception, the third was inflammation, and the fourth was rectal bleeding. Ectopic tissue, present in ninety-three patients, consisted of ectopic gastric mucosa in fifty-eight. 99mTc-P scanning was performed on fifteen patients. In twelve of them ectopic gastric mucosa was observed. However, it was not found in three, all of whom had false-positive scans.

In a consecutive and non-selected study of 54 kidney transplanted dogs, 12 cases of intussusception of the small intestine developed in 8 dogs. The patogenesis is still unknown. It has been postulated that the time of the operation (4--7 hours) and the segmental termination of the post-operative atony in the intestine are essential factors in this fatal complication. The last 16 dogs in this material were peroperatively treated with antikolinergics (Mestinon NFN), which was continued until normal function of the intestine. In these dogs there were no evidence of intussusception. The value of this profylaxis is open to discussion and it is essential to solve the problem of intussusception through a "blind" and controlled trial.

There is a high incidence of primary colonic intussusceptions in infants and children in Africa. The case histories of 37 patients are reviewed. Of the varieties described, the caecocolic intussusception (16 patients) presents as an intestinal upset, often mild, with symptoms of colic and vomiting. In many of these patients there is known to be an intestinal infestation with Ascaris lumbricoides. This often leads to a delay in establishing the correct diagnosis. Colocolic intussusception (13 patients) gives rise to more acute abdominal symptoms. On clinical assessment, signs of intestinal obstruction are found and there is usually an intra-abdominal mass which can be palpated in the left colon. Further confirmatory evidence of intussusception is the finding of occult blood in stools. There is an unusually high incidence of sigmoid intussusceptions in infants (8 patients). The diagnosis of this form of intussusception is often delayed owing to inadequate clinical assessment of prolapsed bowel at the anal orifice. The length of the prolapsed bowel, the curved nature of the prolapse and the possible demonstration of a sulcus between the prolapsed bowel and the anal canal wall, aid in diagnosis.

Jejunogastric intussusception is an infrequently reported complication of gastroenterostomy. Prognosis and treatment are functions of the anatomic type (Shackman's classification). Gastroscopy and sometimes roentgenograms are the major diagnostic tools. Surgical treatment is required in the acute types where incarceration or strangulation occurs, and in the chronic types when function or quality of life is impaired.

In Europe and North America, most cases of non-infantile intussusception are associated with intestinal neoplasm. At the University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria, the majority of cases of intussusception seen are ileocecocolic and cecocolic types. These are usually not associated with intestinal neoplasm and simple reduction is all that is required.Intussusception occurring in other segments of the intestinal tract is found to be associated with intestinal neoplasm, mesenteric lymphadenopathy, and ascaris worms. The very mobile cecum and ascending colon found in this population may be related to the high incidence of ileocecocolic and cecocolic intussusception.Indications for resection of intussusception include presence of intestinal neoplasm, irreducibility, gangrenous bowel, and chronicity.
