Intussusception Ileocecal

Intussusception, or volvulus, is a condition of the gastrointestinal tract that is dangerous to human health and life, associated with the entry of one part of the intestine into the lumen of another. The intestinal loops seem to curl up around their base, causing pinching of a section of the intestine and, accordingly, poor circulation in it. Most often, the patient consults a doctor precisely with intestinal obstruction caused by a pathological process, but not always. The ileocecal region of the intestine consists of part of the small intestine and forms the angle between the large intestines. This area is the most important for the movement of food and protection against infections and fungi, since its lumen contains a lot of lymphoid tissue. If the intestine turns around its axis, a part of the large intestine moves into the lumen of the small intestine, which, for anatomical reasons, can occur not only in adults, but also in children. It should be said that the small intestine is more mobile, since it forms

Intussusception is the penetration of one segment of the intestine into the lumen of another intestine with the development of an infiltrate in its place. The most common diagnosis is ileocecal intussusception. It is caused by the entry of ileocytes through the lumen of the ileum, and functioning as the proximal segment of the ileocolon into the space of the intestinal tube. As a result, a conglomerate is formed, including the inserted section of the intestine, the ileal loop and the inflamed part of the intestinal mucosa surrounding it. This pathology can lead to acute intestinal obstruction with severe clinical symptoms.
