Dr. M. J. Muralikannan, Dr. J. Selvaraj

Abstract :

 A 60 years old male was admitted in emergency ward with abdominal pain, bleeding per rectum & vomiting. On examination, there was a vague mass over the left lumbar region which was also tender. Per rectal examination showed blood stained fecal matter. X ray abdomen showed features of intestinal obstruction with dilated large bowel loops. Ultrasound of abdomen was done which showed pseudo kidney sign in the left lower abdomen. Also Contrast enhanced CT Abdomen was done and it showed infolding loops of bowel in distal descending colon with target like appearance and dilated proximal colon which was suggestive of Intussusception. Laparotomy was planned and the intraop finding was a retrograde intussusception of sigmoid colon into the descending colon. There was no gangrene of the bowel and reduction was not attempted. Postop period was uneventfull. We report this case as retrograde intussusception in sigmoid colon is a very rare presentation.
