appendiceal Intussusception masquerading as an Ileocolic Intussusception
Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery, 2012Co-Authors: Corey W Iqbal, Ashwin S Kamath, Scott P ZietlowAbstract:Introduction Appendiceal Intussusception is rare occurring with an incidence of 0.1%. It is most commonly encountered in middle-aged females due to endometrial involvement of the appendix.

appendiceal Intussusception masquerading as an Ileocolic Intussusception
Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery, 2012Co-Authors: Corey W Iqbal, Ashwin S Kamath, Scott P ZietlowAbstract:Appendiceal Intussusception is rare occurring with an incidence of 0.1%. It is most commonly encountered in middle-aged females due to endometrial involvement of the appendix. One-quarter of cases occur in the pediatric population where it is usually due to appendiceal inflammation. Classification of appendiceal Intussusception (type I–V) is based on the level of appendiceal invagination. Appendectomy is the treatment of choice unless there is a concern for a neoplasm in which case a more extensive resection may be necessary. We report a 47-year-old with an appendiceal Intussusception.

early recurrence of Ileocolic Intussusception after successful air enema reduction incidence and predisposing factors
Emergency Radiology, 2019Co-Authors: Naum Simanovsky, Benjamin Z Koplewitz, Omer Issachar, N Levcohain, D Rekhtman, Nurith HillerAbstract:Early recurrent Ileocolic Intussusception (RICI) is a rare event. We aimed to estimate the rate of RICI and identify predisposing factors for early recurrence for children treated in a tertiary-care academic medical center. Consecutive children who were diagnosed with Ileocolic Intussusception (ICI) during the years 2005–2015 and had successful enema reduction were included. Demographic, clinical, imaging, and laboratory data were recorded for analysis. Ultrasound and fluoroscopy images were reviewed. Early RICI was defined as recurrence within 48 h. Two hundred forty-five episodes of Intussusception in 210 patients, ages 2 to 77 months (mean 12.7), were included. Six patients (2.45%) had a RICI between 7 and 28 h (mean 17 h) after initial successful reduction. A total of 5/6 recurrences (83.3%) were in winter months. In the group without early recurrence, only 19.6% of the cases presented during the winter (p = 0.001). Mean age in the early recurrence group was 23 months compared to 12.4 months children with no early recurrence (p = 0.016). All other analyzed parameters were comparable for the groups. Early RICI is a relatively rare event that may not justify routine admission and long observation. The approach should be individual, based on the clinical picture.

Ileocolic versus small bowel Intussusception in children can us enable reliable differentiation
Radiology, 2013Co-Authors: Natali Lioubashevsky, Nurith Hiller, Katya Rozovsky, Lee Segev, Naum SimanovskyAbstract:We have shown that the index of the diameter of the hyperechoic inner fat core to wall thickness may be a useful parameter enabling confident differentiation between Ileocolic and small-bowel Intussusception in children; an index of inner fat core diameter to wall thickness greater than 1.0 is characteristic of Ileocolic Intussusception, while an index of less than 1.0 is characteristic of small-bowel Intussusception.

ileocecal burkitt s lymphoma presenting as Ileocolic Intussusception with appendiceal invagination and acute appendicitis
Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2010Co-Authors: Shengmine Wang, Fuchen Huang, Shinye Lee, Chihcheng HsiaoAbstract:Intussusception is a common cause of abdominal pain in children. Although most cases are idiopathic, about 10% of cases have a pathologic lead point. Burkitt's lymphoma is not a common etiology. Burkitt's lymphoma might present primarily as Intussusception in children but has rarely been associated with appendicitis. We report a case in which a 10-year-old obese boy who initially presented with acute appendicitis due to Ileocolic Intussusception with appendiceal invagination. He underwent one-trocar laparoscopy and antibiotic treatment. The symptoms recurred 10 days after discharge. Colonoscopy disclosed ileocecal Burkitt's lymphoma as the pathological lead point. This case emphasizes the importance of the age of the patient and the anatomic location of the Intussusception related to possible etiology, and hence the most appropriate surgical procedure.
