ABSTRACT
Intestinal intussusception is infrequent in adults. Unlike what happens in kids, it shows a demonstrable etiology in most cases polyps, lipomas, hamartomas, malignancies, etc. Among diagnostic methods, CT scan is the study that yields the best results for the diagnosis, giving forth pathognomonic signs and favoring therapeutic decision-making. Two cases of intestinal intussusception in adults secondary to benign pathology are analyzed, stressing mainly the tomographic findings and some considerations about therapeutic decision-making based on tomographic results.
