Abstract


Small bowel intussusceptions are much
less common than the ileocolic type,
withjejunoileal intussusceptions being
amongst the most rare. We review the
literature on small bowelintussuception, a
case of 16 years old boy with a jejunoileal
intussusception involving the part
of thesmall bowel, 30cm from the level of
the duodenojejunal flexure to 3 feet distal
to the ileocaecal valve.The typical CT
features of an intussusception and value
of CT with regard to identification ofcomplications
are highlighted
