INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Intussusception is uncommon in older patients, making its diagnosis challenging and necessitating a high level of clinical suspicion. While pediatric intussusception typically presents with a triad of symptoms including abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea, and an abdominal mass, the majority of adult patients experience chronic abdominal pain and partial obstruction. Consequently, the diagnosis of adult intussusception may be delayed due to the similarity in presentation with other conditions.
CASE PRESENTATION: In this article, we have presented a 13-year-old boy with chronic and refractory anal fissure. The patients also complained of constipation for a year, intermittent abdominal pain, and bloating. Although he was treated with conservative laxative medications, the constipation was not relieved. Incidentally, a colocolic intussusception was found through an MRI.
CLINICAL DISCUSSION: We have provided a comprehensive description of an unexpected intussusception at an uncommon age which was found incidental. Medical literature was reviewed for better optimal planning in surgery.
CONCLUSION: Intussusception in a teenager is unexpected, and this case shows the importance of considering it even in the presence of nonspecific symptoms. This case serves as a reminder to healthcare professionals to consider intussusception as a potential diagnosis in similar cases.
