RESUMO
La mayoría de las invaginaciones intestinales en adultos tienen una causa orgánica y su tratamiento es quirúrgico. En algunos casos, no se encuentra lesión asociada a la invaginación y se puede optar por un manejo conservador. En nuestra práctica clínica hemos objetivado la presencia de invaginaciones intestinales en ausencia de lesión estructural asociada al consumo crónico de cannabis con buena evolución tras manejo conservador. Se describen tres casos de invaginaciones recurrentes en consumidores de cannabis, sugiriendo una relación entre el consumo de cannabis y la incidencia de invaginaciones intestinales (AU)
Most intussusception cases in adults have an organic cause and their treatment is surgical. In some cases, there is no injury associated with intussusception and we can opt for conservative management. In our clinical practice we have shown the presence of intussusceptions in the absence of structural damage associated with chronic cannabis with a good course after conservative management. We describe three cases of recurrent intussusception in cannabis users, suggesting a relationship between cannabis use and the incidence of intussusception (AU)
