Adult Intestinal Intussusception Caused by the Gastrojejunostomy Tube: An Endoscopically Treatable Phenomenon

Figure 3

Esophagogastroduodenoscopy demonstrated retained semisolid food at the pyloric junction (a), significant bowel obstruction due to intussusception likely as a result of mucosal traction from the patient’s jejunostomy limb tip at the second portion of the duodenum (b), and subsequent patent bowel following reduction in the intussuscepted bowel following reduction (c). The jejunostomy was also removed being replaced with a gastrostomy tube.
