Résumé

L’invagination est une cause rare d’occlusion intestinale aigüe. Chez l’adulte l’invagination intestinale est presque toujours secondaire à une lésion sous-jacente. Ces lésions peuvent être bénignes ou malignes.

A travers ce travail nous nous proposons de rapporter un cas d’invagination intestinale aigüe révélateur d’une maladie de Crohn et de décrire l’étiopathogénie de cette complications chirurgicale.

Abstract

Intussusception is an uncommon cause of intestinal obstruction. It occurs when a proximal segment of bowel telescops into an adjacent distal segment. In adult; it is often associated with an underlying pathology. Approximately 65% of cases are secondary to tumours growth. A few cases of intestinal intussusception; as initial manifestation of Crohn’s disease; have been already reported. This complication leads generally to surgery. But there is no agreement upon the correct surgical treatment, although resection without prior reduction seems to be the best choice.
