INTUSSUSCEPT Meaning and Definition

1. Intussuscept is a medical term that refers to the process or act of one part of the intestine sliding or telescoping into another section of the intestine, effectively causing an obstruction. This condition typically occurs in children and occasionally in adults, and it is considered a medical emergency that requires immediate attention.

   Intussusception is characterized by the movement of one portion of the intestine -- the "intussusceptum" -- slipping inside an adjacent section of the intestine -- the "intussuscipiens." This results in the reduction of the normal diameter of the intestine, leading to a blockage and hindrance of the passage of food, fluids, and stool.

   The condition often manifests with symptoms such as severe abdominal pain, vomiting, bloody or mucous-filled stools, and a palpable lump in the abdomen. If left untreated, intestinal tissue can become necrotic due to impaired blood flow, leading to further complications such as perforation and peritonitis.

   The diagnosis of intussusception is typically confirmed through imaging techniques such as ultrasound or X-ray, which can reveal the characteristic "target sign" or "coiled spring appearance" of the affected intestine.

   Treatment for intussusception often involves medical interventions such as air or liquid enemas, which can sometimes help to reduce the telescoped intestine and relieve the obstruction. In some cases, surgical intervention may be required to salvage the affected intestinal tissue and restore normal bowel function.
