Abstract
- Although intussusception is primarily a disease of children, about 5 to 10 percent of cases occur in adults. The underlying causes of adult intussusception are tumor, postoperative complication, local bowel ischemia, abnormal motility and rarely intestinal tuberculosis. Recently, we experienced a 62-year-old man with intussusception underlying pulmonary tuberculosis. The postoperative pathologic finding was intestinal tuberculosis. For its rarity, we report this case with review of literatures.
