Abstract:

Summary

Three cases of asymptomatic intussusception in adults are reported, discovered incidentally during a CT scan of the abdomen. It is being increasingly observed in adults, possibly aided by the reformatting capabilities of the new multislice CT scanners. It has been documented in children where it is considered to be transient and of no clinical significance.
