Abstract: Intussusception is rare in adults accounting for 5% of all cases. It can be caused by various lesions but is rarely the result of trauma. Recently we encountered a case of adult intussusception after blunt abdominal trauma without any other leading causes. We report this case with a review of the relevant literatures.
