Abstract :
Jejunogastric intussusception is an established complication following any type of gastroenterostomy. In its acute form it presents with abdominal pain and lump suggestive of obstruction. It is also a rare cause of haematemesis. Chronic and intermittent presentation has also been described. It is a surgical emergency in its acute form. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment is required to avoid mortality. We report here a case that had a history suggestive of recurrent symptoms and ultimately presented as an acute emergency in the emergency department of Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh.
