Appendiceal intussusception is a rare condition characterized by the telescoping or invagination of a portion or the entire appendix into the caecum or within the appendix itself. Diagnosing appendiceal intussusception can be challenging due to its rarity, non-specific symptoms, and lack of awareness among physicians. We present a case report of appendiceal intussusception caused by endometriosis presenting with recurrent abdominal pain in a young female that was initially missed on CT scan and laparoscopy and eventually diagnosed on CT enterography.
阑尾套叠是一种罕见的病症,其特征为部分或整个阑尾套入盲肠或阑尾自身内部。由于阑尾套叠罕见、症状不具特异性且医生对此认识不足,其诊断颇具挑战性。我们报告一例由子宫内膜异位症引起的阑尾套叠病例,该病例为一名年轻女性,反复出现腹痛,最初在CT扫描和腹腔镜检查中被漏诊,最终通过CT小肠造影得以确诊。
