Abstract:
Intussusception in an adult is an uncommon condition. In contrast to the condition occuring in infants and children in adults, it is usually secondary to an intraluminal tumor. Hemangioma is a very rare cause of intussusception. The most frequent symptoms of intussuscepting hemangioma of the gastrointestinal tract are cramping abdominal pain, vomiting and melena. The treatment is usually resection. We experienced a case of hemangioma in the ileum with intussusception. After laparotomy and resection of the ileal segment, end to end anastomosis was performed.
