Abstract: | This case report describes the clinical presentation and the radiographic, endoscopic, and pathologic findings in a patient with cystic fibrosis (CF) and intussusception of the appendix. This is the first time that intussusception of the appendix has been documented in a patient with CF. This disorder should be considered in the CF patient with cramping lower abdominal pain or rectal bleeding. |
