Abstract

Adult gastroduodenal intussusceptions are very rare. Presentation of gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) as gastroduodenal intussusception is atypical and clinically difficult to diagnose due to non-specific symptoms. We report the rare case of an elderly male who presented with clinical features of gastric outlet obstruction. Diagnostic imaging and endoscopy revealed a gastric antral GIST leading to gastroduodenal intussusception. Due to the irreducibility of the intussusception, the patient underwent laparoscopic distal gastrectomy as definitive management. Laparoscopic management in such cases is feasible with equally good oncological outcomes as compared to open surgery, with better cosmetic outcome and faster recovery.

Keywords: Gastric outlet obstruction; gastroduodenal intussusception; gastrointestinal stromal tumour; laparoscopic gastrectomy.
