Jejunogastric intussusception in a child: A case report

  • University of Mississippi

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Jejunogastric intussusception is a rare event following gastrointestinal reconstruction. We present a case report in which jejunogastric intussuception was diagnosed in a child four years after a gastrectomy with jejunogastric reconstruction for duodenal duplication. Prompt diagnosis and emergent resection of any non-viable bowel, and revision to a Roux-En-Y anastomosis with or without pexy of the Roux limb to the colon or Y-limb mesentery appear to be the appropriate treatment for this clinical entity.
