Abstract
Abstract
Intussusception, which is characterized by the invagination of one portion of the gastrointestinal tract into an adjacent segment, is an uncommon cause of abdominal pain in adults. Given that it is typically associated with identifiable pathological abnormalities, intussusception can pose a diagnostic challenge in adults due to its rarity and nonspecific symptomatology. This report presents a unique case of multiple small bowel intussusceptions in a 20-year-old female, which emphasizes the importance of clinical suspicion and advanced imaging for an accurate diagnosis.
