Intussusception in adults is a rare disease. In most cases, it is associated with an underlying condition. The clinical presentation is nonspecific and may present as an acute, intermittent, or chronic condition, most often presenting as an occlusive condition. CT is the diagnostic method of choice. Standard treatment is surgery with resection of the involved segment; however, reduction without resection may be considered in selected cases. In the present case, we report an intussusception in an adult with no evident structural cause. Reduction without resection was decided upon, with no recurrence during follow-up.
