    Volvulus refers to the twisting of a portion of the intestine causing an obstruction. It occurs most frequently in the colon but can also affect the stomach and small bowel. Left untreated, it can lead to a condition called strangulation where blood flow is cut off, causing tissue death or gangrene. Intussusception is when one segment of intestine "telescopes" inside another, most often at the junction of the small and large intestine. It causes obstruction and can lead to tearing of the intestines. The cause is usually a preceding viral infection that causes intestinal swelling. Symptoms include severe abdominal pain, vomiting, and bloody stools. Both conditions require prompt diagnosis and treatment, usually through surgery or radi

    Volvulus & Intussusception

    Syaiful Mukhtar

    Volvulus
    Volvulus refers to the twisting of a
    portion of the intestine around itself
    or a stalk of mesentery tissue to
    cause an obstruction. Volvulus occurs
    most frequently in the colon,
    although the stomach and small
    bowel can also twist

    Volvulus
    The part of the digestive system above the
    volvulus continues to function and may swell
    as it fills with digested food, fluid, and gas. A
    condition called strangulation develops if the
    mesentery of the bowel is twisted so tightly
    that blood flow is cut off and the tissue dies.
    This condition is called gangrene. Volvulus is a
    surgical emergency because gangrene can
    develop quickly, cause a hole in the wall of
    the bowel (perforation), and become lifethreatenin

    Intussusception
    Intussusception is when one segment of
    intestine "telescopes" inside of another
    causing an intestinal obstruction.
    Although it can occur anywhere in the
    gastrointestinal tract, it usually occurs at
    the junction of the small and large
    intestine
    The obstruction can cause swelling &
    inflammation that can lead to tearing of
    the intestines

    Intussusception
    Intussusceptions cause is unknown,
    but is usually preceded by a virus
    that produces swelling of the lining of
    the intestine, which then prolapses
    into the downstream intestine. In
    some children, it is caused by a
    congenital anomaly of the intestine
    such as a polyp or diverticulum

    Intussusception

    symptoms of
    intussusception
    The characteristic signs and symptoms of
    intussusception are episodic, severe, crampy
    abdominal pain alternating with periods of
    lethargy. Small children may draw their knees
    up to their chest. Other possible symptoms of
    intussusception include:
    Nausea and vomiting
    Rectal bleeding (red jelly-like stools) sometimes
    mixed with mucus
    These symptoms begin abruptly, usually one
    week after a non-specific viral illness.

    Diagnostic
    Intussusception is associated with an
    abdominal mass, which may be felt
    upon physical examination.
    Ultrasonography is able to identify
    the mass with 100 percent accuracy
    and is now the first radiologic test
    prescribed for patients with
    suspected intussusception. Two other
    radiologic tests--barium enema and
    air contrast enema--also are used to

    Treatment

    Treatment

    Treatment
    Once intussusception is diagnosed, the next step is to
    attempt hydrostatic reduction (to push the intestine
    back) using a barium enema or air contrast enema (same
    test used for diagnosis). This is a radiologic procedure not
    a surgical procedure and does not require a general
    anesthetic.
    These procedures (barium enema and air contrast
    enema) have a 60 percent to 70 percent success rate,
    with an 8 percent to 10 percent rate of intussusception
    recurrence. They have a low risk of complications as well.
    If hydrostatic reduction is unsuccessful, then surgery is
    required. Surgery may also be done if there is significant
    infection, or are too ill for the radiologic procedure
