Abstract

Appendiceal intussusception is an extremely rare condition ranging from partial invagination of the appendix to involvement of the entire colon. It may be due to intraluminal foreign bodies, lymphoid hyperplasia, polyps, neoplasia, or endometriosis. Endometriosis is an extremely rare cause of appendiceal intussusception. Patients usually present with symptoms of acute appendicitis. In the case presented here, appendiceal invagination was detected in laparoscopic exploration during surgery for suspected acute appendicitis and was treated laparoscopically.
