All statements about adult intussusception are true except:
Intussusception In Adults Bailey says " Adult cases of intussusception are invariably associated with a lead point, which is usually a polyp (e.g., Preutz-jegher&;s syndrome), a submucosal lipoma or other tumor " In adults , colonic intussusception is common but in children, ileocolic is the most commonest variety (77%) Ref: Bailey 27th edition Pgno: 1287
Idiopathic and more enteric rather than colonic
Lead point present in majority of cases
Resection of bowel is adequate for large bowel intussusception
Hydrostatic reduction with barium or air are done if bowel is not gangrenous
