Abstract
Intussusception after abdominal trauma is exceedingly uncommon and is rarely reported in the literature. This makes our case of special interest. Intussusception following blunt trauma may be difficult to diagnose. Here we report a patient that presented with central abdominal pain, vomiting and constipation. Abdominal computed tomography scan showed focal telescoping of the small bowel loops at the lower quadrant.
