Intussusception in Adults: The Role of MDCT in the Identification of the Site and Cause of Obstruction

Figure 2

Enterocolonic (ileocaecocolonic) intussusception. Intussusception may present as a target (a), reniform bilobed (b, c), and a sausage-shaped (d) mass depending on the different axial CT scans or reformatted planes. Mesenteric vessels appear as enhanced linear structures between hypodense mesenteric fats (arrow). Dilated proximal bowel loops are opacified with oral contrast.
