ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Fundamento: La invaginación intestinal como causa de dolor abdominal es un motivo infrecuente de consulta en la edad adulta. Una lesión orgánica es la causante en el 90 % de los casos. Pueden ser lesiones malignas o benignas, y entre estas últimas se mencionan los lipomas de intestino delgado. Objetivo: Presentar el caso de una paciente con invaginación intestinal secundaria a pólipo mesenquimatoso. Presentación del caso: Paciente femenina de 47 años de edad, con antecedentes de dolor abdominal recurrente hacia fosa ilíaca derecha y cambios intermitentes en el hábito intestinal. En los estudios de imagen realizados se le diagnosticó una invaginación de intestino delgado, la cual se corroboró en el acto quirúrgico y mediante anatomía patológica que informó un pólipo mesenquimatoso (fibrolipoma) como causante. Conclusiones: La invaginación intestinal, aunque infrecuente, puede ser la forma de presentación de dolor abdominal recurrente en el adulto.


ABSTRACT Background: Intestinal invagination as a cause of abdominal pain is an infrequent reason for consultation in adulthood. An organic injury is the cause in 90 % of cases. They can be malignant or benign lesions, and among the latter, lipomas of the small intestine are mentioned. Objective: To present the case of a patient with intestinal invagination secondary to a mesenchymal polyp. Case presentation: A 47-year-old female patient with a history of recurrent abdominal pain towards the right iliac fossa and intermittent changes in bowel habit. In the imaging studies, an invagination of the small intestine was diagnosed which was corroborated in the surgical act and by pathological anatomy that reported a mesenchymal polyp (fibrolipoma) as the cause. Conclusion: Intestinal invagination, although infrequent, may be the form of presentation of recurrent abdominal pain in adults.

ABSTRACT

La invaginación intestinal ocurre cuando un segmento proximal de intestino se repliega dentro de la luz de un segmento distal adyacente y provoca obstrucción intestinal. Es una causa común de abdomen agudo en los dos primeros años de la vida, pero raro en niños mayores. Un varón de 16 años, con diagnóstico de fibrosis quística, se presentó con un cuadro compatible con síndrome de oclusión intestinal distal. Consultó a la clínica con dolor abdominal y una masa palpable en el hipocondrio derecho. Se realizó ecografía abdominal y tomografía de abdomen contrastada, que demostraron invaginación íleo-colónica con signos de isquemia intestinal, necrosis y neumatosis de la pared intestinal. Fue intervenido: se realizó resección del íleon terminal y hemicolon derecho, y se detectó una tumoración en ciego. La invaginación íleo-colónica es una causa rara de abdomen agudo en pacientes adolescentes con fibrosis quística y puede estar asociada a una causa orgánica subyacente.


Intestinal intussusception occurs when a proximal segment of the intestine telescopes into the lumen of an adjacent distal segment, causing intestinal obstruction. It is a common cause of acute abdomen in the first two years of life, but rare in older children. A 16-year-old male with a diagnosis of cystic fibrosis presented with symptoms compatible with distal intestinal occlusion syndrome. He came at the cystic fibrosis clinic with a 5-day evolution of abdominal pain and a palpable mass in the right hypochondrium. Abdominal ultrasound and abdominal contrasted tomography were performed demonstrating ileo-colonic invagination with signs of intestinal ischemia, necrosis and pneumatosis of the intestinal wall. He underwent surgery with resection of the terminal ileum and right hemicolon, ana tumor in the caecum was found. This is a rare cause of acute abdomen in young patients with cystic fibrosis and may be associated with an underlying organic cause.

ABSTRACT

Los lipomas del colon ocupan el tercer lugar en frecuencia de aparición de tumores benignos. Estos tumores están formados por tejido adiposo bien diferenciado con un estroma fibroso. La gran mayoría de estos lipomas es asintomática, algunos en raras ocasiones presentan complicaciones de urgencia. El fin de esta publicación es presentar un caso de obstrucción de colon por lipoma. (AU)


Benign colonic lesions are infrequent and account for a low percentage of all colonic tumors. Among the benign tumors, lipomas are third in frequency. They are composed of mature adipose tissue with fibrous stroma. Most of them are asymptomatic but in rare instances, they may present as surgical emergencies. We present one case of colonic obstruction caused by lipomas. (AU)

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Adult intussusception is a rare condition. But coloanal intussusception is an exception. Malignant lesions are the most common cause of colonic intussusception, and in this aspect, differ from childhood intussusception. We present a case wherein the patient had a lipoma of the sigmoid colon that caused an immense prolapse through the anus. Very few cases of coloanal intussusception are reported in adults, and we discuss the diagnostic tools and the management of this rare surgical entity.


RESUMO A intussuscepção no adulto é uma entidade rara. Mas a intussuscepção colo-anal é uma exceção. Lesões malignas são a causa mais comum de intussuscepção colônica e, neste aspecto, difere da intussuscepção infantil. Apresentamos um caso de lipoma do cólon sigmoide que causou um prolapso imenso através do ânus. Muito poucos casos de intussuscepção colo-anal foram relatados em adultos e discutimos as ferramentas diagnósticas e o tratamento dessa entidade cirúrgica rara.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Los pólipos gástricos adenomatosos son poco frecuentes y generalmente se encuentran en el examen endoscópico de rutina. La intususcepción gastroduodenal es una complicación poco frecuente de los pólipos gástricos y ha sido raramente descrita como una causa de pancreatitis aguda. Caso clínico: Presentamos el caso de un varón de 68 años el cual ingresa de urgencia con dolor abdominal, náuseas y vómitos catalogados en un inicio como pancreatitis aguda de etiología biliar; incidentalmente se descubre un pólipo gástrico pediculado intususceptado a duodeno como causa de la pancreatitis aguda. Se realizó tratamiento endoscópico de urgencia y tratamiento definitivo con cirugía abierta.


Introduction: Adenomatous gastric polyps are uncommon and are usually found in the routine endoscopic examination. Gastroduodenal intussusception is a rare complication of those gastric polyps and has rarely been described as a cause of acute pancreatitis. Case report: We present the case of a 68 year old man who admitted to emergency with abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting initially classified as acute biliary pancreatitis etiology; a pedunculated gastric polyp intussuscepted into duodenum as a cause of acute pancreatitis was incidentally discovered, emergency endoscopic treatment and definitive treatment with open surgery was performed.

ABSTRACT

La intususcepción en un adulto debe hacer sospechar un tumor (benigno o potencialmente riesgoso); el diagnóstico certero es crucial para el tratamiento adecuado del paciente1. Alrededor del 90% de estos casos se dan en el intestino delgado y colon, el 10% restante se originan en el estómago y en estomas creados quirúrgicamente2. En los adultos, aproximadamente 90% de los casos de intususcepción son secundarios a una lesión definible3. El tumor de Vanek o pólipo fibroide inflamatorio, se conoce como una lesión benigna, rara, de localización submucosa, no encapsulada, cuya ubicación puede darse a lo largo del tracto digestivo, siendo más común en el antro gástrico (80 %), aunque también se ha descrito en la unión gastroesofágica, duodeno, yeyuno, íleon y colon4.


Intussusception in an adult must make us suspect the presence of a tumor (benign or potentially dangerous) as the most frequent cause. Accurate diagnosis is of great importance in order to provide appropriate treatment and improve patient prognosis1. About 90% of these cases occur in the small intestine and colon, and the remaining 10% originate in the stomach and surgically created ostomas2. In adults, approximately 90% of cases of intussusception are secondary to a definable lesión3. The Vanek's tumor or inflammatory fibroid polyp (IFP) is a rare benign lesion of submucosal location, not encapsulated, that may be located throughout the digestive tract, being more common in the gastric antrum (80%), although it has also been described in the gastroesophageal junction, duodenum, jejunum, ileum and colon4.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN: la invaginación intestinal idiopática es la causa más frecuente de abdomen agudo en el lactante y en el transicional. El tratamiento de elección es el médico, siempre que cumpla los criterios de inclusión, por ser menos invasivo, presentar menos complicaciones, menor costo y más efectivo, al compararlo con el tratamiento quirúrgico. OBJETIVO: evaluar la efectividad del tratamiento médico en niños con invaginación intestinal. MÉTODOS: se realizó un estudio descriptivo, longitudinal y retrospectivo de 55 pacientes con el diagnóstico de invaginación intestinal idiopática con criterios de tratamiento médico, que ingresaron en el servicio de Cirugía Pediátrica del Hospital Pediátrico Universitario Centro Habana, en el período de enero de 2000 a diciembre de 2012. Los métodos de reducción empleados fueron mediante neumocolon y el colon por enema baritado. Se utilizó el test de chi cuadrado para el análisis. RESULTADOS: el tratamiento con enema de bario predominó ligeramente sobre el neumocolon (28/27) para 50,9 % y 49,1 % respectivamente. Su efectividad fue mayor para el neumocolon (77,8 %), en comparación con el enema de bario (57,1 %) (RR= 1,38, p> 0,05). La efectividad de estos procederes está en relación con el tiempo de evolución; a menor tiempo, mejores resultados. CONCLUSIONES: no se encontró una variación significativa en los resultados en los 2 procederes médicos propuestos, aunque fue más efectivo el neumocolon que el enema de bario.


INTRODUCTION: idiopathic intestinal intussusceptions are the most frequent cause of acute abdomen in the breastfed baby and in the transitional infant. The medical treatment is the choice provided that the inclusion criteria are met since it is less invasive, costly and complicated but more effective than the surgical treatment. OBJECTIVE: to evaluate the effectiveness of the medical treatment in children with intestinal intussusception. diagnosed with idiopathic intestinal intussusceptions and met the medical treatment criteria met; they had been admitted to the pediatric surgical service of Centro Habana university pediatric hospital in the period of January 2000 through December 2012. The used methods were pneumocolon and barium enema colon. Chi-square test was used for the analysis. RESULTS: the barium enema treatment slightly prevailed over pneumocolon (28 vs. 27) for 50.9 % and 49.1 %, respectively. The pneumocolon effectiveness (77.8 %) was higher than the barium enema (57.1 %) (RR= 1.38, p> 0.05). The effectiveness of both procedures depends on the time of progression of disease, which means that best results go to less time of progression. CONCLUSIONS: no significant variations were found in the results of the two suggested medical procedures, although pneumocolon was more effective than barium enema.

ABSTRACT

Intussusception is a surgical emergency characterized by invagination of a segment of bowel into a distal portion. It leads to obstruction and compromise of mesenteric blood flow with resultant inflammation and the potential for ischemia of the bowel wall. It is very rare in pregnancy, and the high fetal and maternal mortality is due to a delay in diagnosis and treatment. We report a case of intussusception at a gestational age of 14 weeks and 6 days, when she presented with severe lower abdominal pain and vomiting. Diagnosis was confirmed by ultrasonography which revealed heteroechoic bowel in bowel appearance. Emergency laparotomy was done. Lead point was a submucosal lipoma at 60 cm from the ileocecal junction. Iloeocecal intussusception reduction and segmental ileal resection and end-to-end anastomosis was done. The post-operative period was uneventful.

ABSTRACT

To evaluate the success rate of hydrostatic reduction of intussusception and incidence of complications in late presenting cases. Prospective study. Study was carried out in Armed Forces Institute of Radiology and Imaging Rawalpindi and different Combine Military Hospitals during last 5 years. All the children up to 2 years age with diagnosis of ileo-colic intussusception and 3 days or less history of onset of symptoms were included in the study. Patients with signs of perforation, suspicion of lead point or long intussusceptum protruding through rectum were excluded. After plain film evaluation, thin barium was instilled through Foleys catheter under fluoroscopic guidance. Rule of 3 was followed and reduction was considered successful when contrast refluxed into terminal ileal segment. Follow up plain x-ray and ultrasound was done after 48 hours to rule out recurrence. Hydrostatic reduction was successful in 18 out of 21 patients collected during last five years. Reduction was incomplete in one case while perforation was observed in 2 cases. These complications were observed in the largest group [52%] of patients reporting on 3rd day of onset of symptoms. A significant number [38%] of patients reached the hospital within 48 hours. Only 2 [10%] patients presented in first 24 hrs but uneventful reduction was possible in later two groups. Careful hydrostatic reduction in cases of ileo-colic intussusception reporting within 72 hrs will reduce hospital stay and patient morbidity in most of the cases

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La invaginación intestinal constituye la principal causa de obstrucción intestinal en lactantes. En este rango etáreo, la mayoría de los casos son idiopáticos y de localización ileocecal, siendo infrecuentes las invaginaciones ileoileales originadas por una alteración anatómica del tracto gastrointestinal como el Divertículo de Meckel. Objetivo: Presentar 2 casos de invaginación intestinal ileoileal en lactantes causadas por Divertículo de Meckel. Casos clínicos: El primer caso corresponde a una lactante de sexo femenino de 6 meses que presentó cuadro de dolor abdominal cólico asociado a vómitos y deposiciones sanguinolentas. El segundo, a un lactante de sexo masculino de 1 año y 11 meses con antecedentes de Tetralogía de Fallot operada y Síndrome de Di George que consultó por compromiso del estado general, vómitos y deshidratación severa, asociándose en los días siguientes deposiciones semilíquidas no sanguinolentas. Conclusiones: La invaginación intestinal ileoileal es infrecuente, en especial las causadas por alteraciones anatómicas como el Divertículo de Meckel en lactantes. Esta asociación no tiene signos patognomónicos y su estudio no difiere del habitual de intususcepción intestinal, pero es importante considerarla para el manejo, pues posee indicación quirúrgica y está contraindicada la reducción neumática.


Introduction: Intussusception is the most common cause of intestinal obstruction in infants. At this age, most cases are idiopathic and involve ileocecal locations; meanwhile ileoileal invaginations caused by an anatomic abnormality of the gastrointestinal tract, such as Meckel's diverticulum, are rare. Objective: To report two cases of infant ileoileal intussusception due to Meckel's diverticulum. Case reports: The first patient was a 6 month-old female infant who presented colicky abdominal pain associated with vomiting and bloody stools. The second patient, a 23 month-old male infant with a history of Tetralogy of Fallot and corrective surgery, and DiGeorge syndrome, who consulted the specialists for health worsened due to vomits and severe dehydration, presenting the following days, semi-liquid and non-bloody stools. Conclusions: Ileoileal intussusception is rare in infants, especially those caused by anatomical changes such as Meckel's diverticulum. This association has no pathognomonic signs and its study does not differ from the usual study of intestinal intussusception, but it is important to consider it for management purposes as it involves surgical intervention and considering that the pneumatic reduction is contraindicated.

ABSTRACT

Cecal appendix invagination was first described by Mc Kidd in 1858, however, due to its low frequency and nonspecific presentation, it is usually a radiological or intraoperative finding. During surgery, the therapeutic approach may vary from an appendectomy to a right hemicolectomy. The selected technique will depend of the suspected diagnosis, which will undoubtedly also influenced by surgeon experience. We present a case of a male patient aged 57 years old, with the intraoperative finding of appendiceal intussusception. The laparoscopic dissection of the cecum revealed an inflammatory appendix, soft to palpation with graspers. A large section of the appendix base with linear stapler was made. The final biopsy and surgical specimen showed an appendiceal inflammation without atypia.


La invaginación del apéndice cecal fue descrita por primera vez en 1858, sin embargo, debido a su baja frecuencia y presentación inespecífica suele constituir un hallazgo radiológico o intraoperatorio. En este último caso la conducta terapéutica puede variar desde la apendicectomía hasta la hemicolectomía, ya que se debe plantear a la neoplasia cecal dentro de los diagnósticos diferenciales y, en virtud de ello, la decisión operatoria puede obligar a la hemicolectomía derecha. Esta decisión se verá influida también por la experiencia del cirujano. Se presenta el caso de un paciente de sexo masculino de 57 años de edad con el hallazgo intraoperatorio de invaginación apendicular. Se realizó una disección amplia del ciego por vía laparoscópica y a la palpación con las pinzas el apéndice y el ciego impresionaban de consistencia blanda, no tumoral. Debido a estos hallazgos se decidió realizar la apendicectomía realizando una sección amplia de la base apendicular con stapler lineal cortante. La biopsia definitiva de la pieza operatoria informó un proceso inflamatorio apendicular sin hallazgos sugerentes de atipías.

ABSTRACT

A Yorkshire terrier (case 1) and a Miniature Schnauzer (case 2) were diagnosed with pylorogastric intussusceptions (PGIs). Both cases showed acute vomiting and had previous histories of laparotomy. In case 1, the invaginated pyloric wall was thickened unevenly containing multiple hypoechoic areas and had indistinct wall layering on ultrasonography. PGI with diffuse gastric edema and necrosis was confirmed on laparotomy. The dog recovered completely after gastrectomy and a Y-U plasty. Case 2 had uniformly thickened walls of invaginated gastric pylorus with the distinct wall layering. PGI was reduced spontaneously the next day.

ABSTRACT

Although 75% of intussusceptions occur within the first two years of life, they can also develop in teenage years. This is a case report of a 13-year old boy with an ileocolorectal intussusception from a large caecal hamartoma (10 x 6 x 2 cm3) adjacent to the ileocaecal valve. Partial resection of the ascending colon and terminal ileum was performed, and the pathology of the resected mass revealed a hamartoma. Ileocolorectal intussusception secondary to hamartoma represents a particularly rare event in the paediatric population. With early surgical intervention, this patient's outcome was uneventful.


Aunque el 75% de las intususcepciones ocurren en los primeros dos años de vida, pueden también desarrollarse en el período de la adolescencia. Éste es el reporte del caso de un niño de 13 años con una intususcepción ileocolorectal a partir de un hamartoma de ciego de gran tamaño (10 x 6 x 2 cm3) adyacente a la válvula ileocecal. Se realizó una resección parcial del colon ascendente y el íleo terminal, y la patología de la masa resecada reveló un hamartoma. La intususcepción íleocolorectal derivada secundariamente a partir de un hamartoma, representa un caso particularmente raro dentro de la población pediátrica. Una intervención quirúrgica temprana, hizo posible que este paciente tuviera una evolución clínica sin graves consecuencias.
