Adult Colocolic Intussusception

Send us Fan Mail

Adult colocolic intussusception in adults differs significantly from pediatric cases in its clinical presentation, underlying causes, and primary treatment methods. The following are the key differences identified in the sources:

Clinical Presentation

Symptom Intensity: Adult cases typically present less dramatically than pediatric cases, which often leads to a delayed diagnosis. While children often have an acute presentation, adults frequently experience subacute, non-specific symptoms reflecting intermittent or acute large-bowel obstruction, such as colicky pain and distension.

Physical Findings: A palpable abdominal mass is less common in adults than it is in children.
