Intussusception after Routine Colonoscopy: A Rare Complication

ACG Case Rep J. 2017 Apr 26:4:e63. doi: 10.14309/crj.2017.63. eCollection 2017.

Abstract

We present a 31-year-old woman who developed ascending colon intussusception several hours after a routine colonoscopy where random mucosal biopsies were obtained. She underwent an ileocolic resection, and pathology did not show an etiology for the intussusception. Colonic intussusception occuring without pathology and after minimal intervention is rare.
