Description
Rahi Gandhi and colleagues present a 2026 case report and literature review on bowel telescoping in an adult. In intussusception, one part of the bowel slides into the next, blocking it. In adults a growth usually leads the slide. Their patient was an 84-year-old man with five days of vomiting, swelling, and weakness, plus Parkinson's disease and kidney problems.
Scans showed a blockage and free air but missed both the hole in the bowel and the cause. Surgery found a telescoped cross-colon led by a five-centimeter mucus-forming cancer, with a perforation. Surgeons removed the segment as comfort-focused care. The man worsened with confusion and sepsis and died twelve days later. The authors stress early team decisions for frail patients.
