Abstract

The intussusception secondary to an unusual cause is a rare abdominal emergency posposing a diagnostic and therapeutic problem.We report a patient aged 23 who ingested two sips of spirit of salt as part of a suicide attempt. An upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed a stage IIb esophageal and gastric lesion. A month later the patient presented with dysphagia for solids for which he received a feeding jejunostomy. The evolution was marked by the installation of a double intussusception of jejunostomy tube requiring surgery with no complications. Improving the management and prognosis of IIA secondary to an unusual cause requires an early diagnosis. The reduction of this particular form of intussusception is almost exclusively surgical. © 2013 Springer-Verlag France.
