Abstract:
Gastroduodenal intussusception is a rare condition and an invagination of a part of the gastric wall through the pyloric canal and into the duodenum. Gastroduodenal intussusception is always caused by a mobile gastric tumor, usually benign. However, gastroduodenal intussusception which was caused by gastric submucosal hemangiomatosis is not documented. We have maneged a case of gastric submucosal tumor leading to gastroduodenal intussusception in 2 years and 10 months old boy. He had a 10 x 5 x 3 cm sized submucosal tumor in posterior wall of gastric antrum. Laparotomy, manual reduction of intussusecption, and wedge resection of posterior gastric wall including the submucosal tumor were performed. Pathologic diagnosis showed a submucosal hemangiomatosis. We report a case of gastric submucosal tumor leading to gastroduodenal intussusception, and review the literature.
