Abstract
We report the case of a patient with intussusception secondary to ileal endometriosis. A 30-year-old woman presented to our hospital with abdominal pain and vomiting. Abdominal computed tomography showed the pseudo-kidney sign in the right ileocecal area, based on which we diagnosed intussusception, and performed emergency surgery. We found the intussusception located 30cm proximal to the ileocecal valve and performed a manual reduction using the Hutchinson procedure. We found a tumor in the ileum, which we removed by resection. Histopathological findings revealed the diagnosis of endometriosis of the ileum. We believe this was a very rare case of intussusception caused by ileal endometriosis, and present the case here with a review of the literature.
