Abstract
- Intussusception is a rare cause of colonic obstruction, with the colon accounting for 5 % of all instances of intussusception [1]. 4 Plain radiograph of the abdomen post-stent placement showing the expanded colonic stent and no evidence of bowel dilatation, with a biliary self-expanding metal stent also visible. In adults, about half of bowel intussusceptions result from malignancy, with surgical resection being required in 72 % of patients [2]. [Extracted from the article]
