RESUMEN
Intussusception is a common cause of intestinal obstruction in children, especially in those of age <5 years. The typical signs and symptoms of this condition is colicky abdominal pain, bloody mucous stool, and palpated abdominal mass, with a classic target sign finding on abdominal ultrasound. In older children, the symptoms may vary, which necessitates investigation of the cause of intussusception, as it is often caused by a pathologic lead point. We report here the case of a 14-year-old girl with total bowel obstruction, hematochezia, a very dilated reverse C-shaped bowel loop, and intestinal pneumatosis on abdominal X-ray. During laparotomy, we detected jejunojejunal intussusception caused by jejunal polyp. After bowel resection and anastomosis, the patient recovered well and had no other events during follow-up.
