Abstract
Jejunujejunal intussusception is rarely seen due to inflammatory fibroid polyp and only fourteen cases have been reported in literature. It is very important to use post-processing computerized tomography to demonstrate the cause of intussusception in the preoperative period for management of this condition. In this report we present a jejunojejunal intussusception due to inflammatory fibroid polyp which was revealed by post-processing computerized tomography.
Keywords:
Inflammatory fibroid polyp, intussusception, post-processing computerized tomography
