Intussusceptions arising from two different sites in a child with cystic fibrosis

Pediatr Pulmonol. 2005 Oct;40(4):358-61. doi: 10.1002/ppul.20246.

Abstract

Abdominal pain is common in individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF). We report on a 17-year old boy with CF and two recognized intussusceptions: the first colonic intussusception was presumed due to distal intestinal obstruction syndrome, and the second enteric one due to polypoid lesions containing heterotopic gastric mucosa. The presentation, pathology, management, and a literature review of intussusception in CF are discussed.
