TRAITEMENT LAPAROSCOPIQUE DUN CAS RARE DUNE INVAGINATION INTESTINALE AIGUE SUR LIPOME GRELIQUE

Unlike children, acute intussusception in adult is very unusual. It is often the result of an underlying lesion. We report the case of a 41-year-old patient with acute intussusception due to ileal lipoma diagnosed by abdominal CT scan and confirmed by laparoscopy. The patient underwent a coelio-assisted resection-anastomosis of the invaginated loop with a  safety margin because of the frequency of malignant tumors often associated with this type of lesion. This therapeutic attitude justifies the essential place of surgery in the management.
