Adult Intussusception Presenting with Transient Intestinal Ischemia

A 71-year old woman initially presented with abdominal pain and an x-ray picture of ischemia of the terminal ileum. The ischemic changes were transient and reversed spontaneously. Six months later, she presented with the same complaint and an x-ray picture of ileocolic intussusception. At operation, a lipomaof the ileum was the leading point of the intussusception and ischemic changes of the ileum were evident.
