Acute intestinal intussusception in adults is rare [1]. In majority of adult cases, there is an underlying cause such as polyps or colon cancers. Invaginations of the small intestine account for 75% and 25% of colonic origin. The diagnosis is difficult and often late [2]. We report a rare case of acute intestinal intussusception on the polyp of the transverse colon on a 65-year-old woman, whose diagnosis was made using an abdominopelvic CT scan. Through this observation and a review of the literature we will try to identify the clinical and therapeutic features of this entity.
