Abstract

Intussusception in adult is a rare condition. Pathologic process is identifiable in 90% of cases. Emergency clinical diagnosis is generally difficult and CT scan typical features are of use. Surgery is always necessary to treat bowel necrosis and to perform pathologic examination. Diagnosis of cancer must be in mind and lymphadenectomy must be done. We present two recent cases of intussusception in adults due to adenomatosis polyposis and Meckel's diverticulum.
