This study included 24 cases of intussusception in patients >18 years of age. Results: 24 cases of intussusception among adult were reported. The mean age was 49.2 years on average (range 20-75 years). All patients' initial complaints in this study was pain accompanied by abdominal distension (37.5%), Vomiting (79.2%) and currant-jelly stools (33.3%) were other symptoms.12 patients (50%) had a palpable lump, while 8 patients (33.33%) had tenderness and generalized guarding was seen in 6(25%) of patients.
