An intestinal obstruction occurs when either the small or large intestine is partly or completely blocked so it prevents passing the food or fluid through the small/large bowel. This blockage is due to the existence of a mechanical obstruction such as foreign material, mass, hernia, or volvulus. Common symptoms include cramping pain, nausea and vomiting, changes in bowel habits, inability to pass stool, and lack of gas. We present a case of an 83-year-old man who had been referred to Taleghani Hospital with symptoms of bowel obstruction. He underwent the surgery. The findings of exploration of the entire abdomen showed two types of mass separately in two different organs. In postoperative workup, pathology reported two types of tumors (adenocarcinoma and neuroendocrine tumors).

Small bowel diverticulosis is rare. False diverticula form in the jejunum, and less commonly, the ileum. As with their large bowel counterparts, these diverticula provide a pocket for stasis of bowel content, leading to the formation of enteroliths. This case report highlights two complications from jejunal diverticulosis: jejunal diverticulitis and a small bowel obstruction as a result of enterolithiasis; the latter being a rare entity which should be a differential diagnosis for any individual presenting with gastrointestinal obstructive symptoms and radiological evidence of small bowel diverticulosis.

Background: Acute intestinal obstruction is one of the major surgical emergencies. Intestinal obstruction is defined as partial or complete interference with forward flow of small or large intestinal contents. Intestinal obstruction of either small or large bowel continues to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Study aims to find the aetiology, diagnosis and management of acute intestinal obstruction.Methods: A total of 135 patients of acute intestinal obstruction was studied from November 2013 to October 2015 in government medical college, Nagpur. Study was done in patients in OPD of this tertiary centre. Inclusion criteria being patients coming to the hospital with features suggestive and further confirmed of acute intestinal obstruction. Patients included were in, age group of 18 years to 80 years giving written informed consent. Patient of pseudo obstruction were excluded from the study.Results: A total of 135 patients, presented with acute intestinal obstruction during the period of the study. Mean patient age was 45.87 years with peak incidence in those aged 21-30years. The foremost signs and symptoms were constipation (85.93%) and abdominal pain (91.11%). Adhesions and bands (61.9%) was the leading causes of intestinal obstruction.Conclusions: Present study concluded that small bowel obstruction is more common than large bowel obstruction. Abdominal pain, constipation and distension are the most common symptoms, while increased bowel sounds, tachycardia and tenderness is most common sign. Post-operative adhesion in small bowel and malignancy in large bowel is major cause of acute intestinal obstruction.

Intussusception through loop ileostomy is rare and must be treated without delay to avoid further complications. Retrograde intussusception is even rarer. We report a case of small bowel obstruction caused by retrograde intussusception through the distal limb of loop ileostomy in a male patient. A literature search is also carried out regarding this entity and published reports are discussed.
