Heterotopic pancreas causing small bowel intussusception is rare. We report the case of a 24-year-old woman who presented with intermittent episodes of abdominal cramping and pain that had persisted for 10 days. A target-shaped lesion consisting of multiple concentric rings was found on the left side on contrast-enhanced computed tomography. Surgical intervention demonstrated jejunal intussusception caused by a jejunal heterotopic pancreas. Microscopically, several nesidioblastoses of pancreas were identified. Although very rare, small intestinal pancreatic rests may cause subacute bowel obstruction.

Megacystis microcolon intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome (MMIHS) is a rare and severe form of neonatal functional bowel obstruction. Affected neonates present with vomiting, an overdistended abdomen, and a huge bladder after birth, and they usually die early in life despite intensive medical and/or surgical management. We report the case of a girl aged 3 years 7 months who had MMIHS with severe psychomotor retardation; autopsy was performed after her death.
