Most of the case of intussuception are considered idiopathic, up to 90-95%. In only a small proportion of them an organic cause is identified. The authors reviewed their experience, including 80 cases of intussusception out of which, 14 showed an organic cause. Six cases were lymphomas, four lymphoid hyperplasia of the colon, two Meckel's diverticulum, one enteric cyst and one Henoch's purpura. An organic cause should be suspected in a child with intussusception who is older than the typical idiopathic intussusception age (6-8 months). Also in those cases with a history of a chronic intussusception.

A man who had undergone jejunoileal bypass for morbid obesity had cramping abdominal pains for which no cause could be found, despite repeated clinical examinations and numerous investigations. Only during anesthesia could the large mass formed by the intussusception be palpated. Following reduction of the intussusception and refixing to the anterior abdominal wall, all symptoms abated.

The case of a circumscribed polypoid eosinophilic granuloma of the small intestine is reported. The tumor caused an intussusception with consecutive ileus. After resection of the involved bowels the patient was healed. No allergic history was found. The morphology, clinical features, and the therapy of this type of tumor is discussed and the relationship to the Histocytosis X is emphasized.

The appearances at conventional radiography and barium enema were compared in a series of 35 patients with recurrent intussusception and in the same number of cases with an uncomplicated course. Only minor disparities between the groups could be established. The significance of a sparse amount of intestinal gas pointing to intussusception and the implication of a complete evacuation of the bowel following barium enema are stressed. The latter phenomenon, occasionally combined with persistent mild small bowel meteorism, occurred in approximately one-third of all early relapses. Patients with one manifest relapse run a significantly increased risk of further recurrences although in the majority of cases no significant etiologic factors are encountered.

This is the first report of the simultaneous occurrence of mucinous carcinoid and endometriosis in an inside-out appendix. The literature concerning carcinoids, endometriosis and intussusception of the appendix is reviewed. The mucinous, or goblet cell carcinoid was positive for mucin, argentaffin and argyrophil stains. Paneth cells were present. Two and one-half years with no tumor recurrence suggest good prognosis as previously reported.

A case of carcinoma of the gall bladder presenting as a retrograde intussusception of the duodenum is described. Although this is a rare presentation of the disease, adequate radiography and endoscopy will help to establish the diagnosis.

We have reviewed the histories of 36 children treated operatively for 37 intussusceptions on one surgical service at this hospital during a period of ten years. Thirteen children had undergone operative procedures without attempted hydrostatic reduction. The only death that occurred was in a 800 gram premature infant. Pre-existing conditions altering intestinal motility were present in seven children. A definite lead point in the intestinal tract was present in six patients. Although hydrostatic reduction plays a major role in the management of uncomplicated intussusception in the pediatric age group, surgical treatment is sitll a necessary alternative for the management of intussusception.

Two cases of primary small bowel tumors causing an acute intussusception are presented. In one case two polyps were found and in the other case a lipoma in the wall of the jejunum. In both cases there were symptoms of recurrent bowel obstruction for several months before the acute condition. Although intussusception caused by a benign tumor of the small bowel is a rare condition it should be taken into consideration in the differential diagnosis of abdominal pain of doubtful origin.

Considerable disagreement exists in the literature concerning the occurrence and incidence of transient non-obstructive intussusception in adult coeliac disease. Only a few case reports have been published and several standard texts do not mention the association at all. We report six adult patients, all with coeliac disease, who demonstrated transient non-obstructive intussusception on small bowel meal examination. The technique of the small bowel meal and the radiological signs of malabsorption are briefly described. The literature is reviewed and reasons for the disagreement herein are discussed. We conclude that the incidence of finding intussusception in adult coeliac disease is related to the intensity of searching and in our series this association was seen in at least 20% of cases. It is considered to be an additional radiological sign of coeliac disease although in no case did it occur in the absence of other prominent radiological evidence of malabsorption.

When an area of giant pseudopolyp formation resulted in intussusception in a patient with known ulcerative colitis, operative intervention was required. The double contrast barium enema and fiberoptic colonoscopy were valuable complimentary diagnostic techniques in the evaluation of such a patient.
