ABSTRACT
Intussusception is defined as the telescoping of one segment of intestines into another causing intestinal obstruction. This condition although common in children is considered a rare condition in adults and is usually present secondary to a pathological lead point like a neoplasm in adults. It usually presents with non-specific complaints like abdominal pain and as such peri umbilical ecchymosis (Cullen’s sign) has not been seen as a presenting symptom of intussusception. Here we present a rare case of acute abdominal pain with contrast imaging of abdomen revealing ileo ileal intussusception. The patient had periumblical ecchymosis (Cullen s sign) on abdominal examination.
