Colonic intussusception and gastrointestinal duplication are diseases that arise in young children.The clinical presentation of adult cases of intussusception and enteric duplication is non-specific and thus poses a diagnostic challenge.A computed tomography (CT) scan is recommended in adult cases as the most sensitive diagnostic tool and the pathognomonic finding of outer intussuscepiens and central intussusceptum is diagnostic.A septum of a duplicated colon in a non-intussuscepted segment has been rarely reported in the literature.With advancements in radiological imaging technology and the increased availability of CT scanners,the capacity for a correct pre-operative diagnosis has been significantly enhanced.Our current case report illustrates the importance of considering an uncommon etiology for enteric intussusception and duplication as a differential diagnosis of acute abdomen in an adult patient.Our analyses of this patient also highlight the successful use of CT scanning to make this diagnosis.
