Core Tip

Core tip: Adult duodenal intussusception is a challenging disease because of its extremely rare occurrence and nonspecific clinical manifestation, and the differential diagnosis should include digestive tract obstruction and pancreatitis. Here, we present a case of adult duodeno-duodenal intussusception with horizontal adenoma near the ascending part of the duodenum to elucidate and review the pathogenesis, presentation, diagnosis and consensus recommendations of duodenal intussusception. This case highlights the rational use of computed tomography, magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography, endoscopy and upper gastrointestinal radiography for preoperative diagnosis. Timely surgery is an effective strategy for the treatment of adult duodenal intussusception with duodenal masses.
