Abstract :
Intussusception is uncommon in adolescents and, when it occurs, is frequently associated with a pathological lead point. Ileo-cecocolic intussusception is a particularly rare variant, and its occurrence in patients with chronic colitis is even more unusual. We report the case of a 15-year-old male with a known history of chronic colitis who presented with abdominal pain and was diagnosed with ileo-cecocolic intussusception. Prompt recognition and timely surgical intervention resulted in a favorable clinical outcome. This case underscores the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion for intussusception in older children and adolescents presenting with abdominal symptoms, particularly those with pre-existing gastrointestinal conditions
