Core Tip
Core Tip: Intussusception, a common cause of intestinal obstruction in children, is rare in adults and often linked to malignancy. Early diagnosis through computed tomography imaging is crucial to prevent complications. This case highlights a 45-year-old female with ileocecal intussusception due to a colorectal mass, successfully treated with extended right hemicolectomy. Recognizing intussusception as a differential diagnosis in adult intestinal obstruction is essential, as timely surgical intervention plays a critical role in patient outcomes.
