Preoperative sonographic diagnosis of McSwain type V appendiceal intussusception: A case report (with video).

ABSTRACT:

Rationale

Appendiceal intussusception is a rare disease. The definite preoperative diagnosis of appendiceal intussusception is rare and challenging. Here, we present a case of McSwain type V appendiceal intussusception in a 10-year-old boy. To our best knowledge, this is the first case report of a type V appendiceal intussusception that was preoperatively confirmed with sonography. Here, we have described in detail the ultrasound features and differential diagnosis of this rare disease.

Patient concerns

A 10-year-old boy presented with 3 days of recurrent intermittent mild abdominal pain. The result of ultrasonography suggested an ileocolic intussusception and a therapeutic air-contrast enema was requested to reduce the intussusception but failed at a local hospital.
