Abstract

Intussusception is the protrusion and invagination of a segment of the bowel, referred to as the intussusceptum, into another adjacent segment known as the intussuscipiens. The age range during which intussusception is most observed in children is between three and 18 months. Unlike intussusceptions in children, where the cause is often idiopathic, a specific underlying factor is discernible in a significant majority of cases among adults. In this article, we will present a case of intussusception in an adolescent caused by Burkitt lymphoma.
