Intussusception is defined as telescoping of the proximal bowel (intussusceptum) into the lumen of the distal bowel, otherwise called the intussuscipiens. While it is one of the most common causes of intestinal obstruction in children between the ages of 3 months and 6 years, intussusception accounts for about 1% of such cases in adults. Intussusception is idiopathic in 8–20% of patients and most commonly occurs in the small intestines in adults. We describe the unique case of a colo-colonic intussusception in a 54-year-old female patient 1 week after a colonoscopy for suspected inflammatory bowel disease. The discussion focuses on the presentation and management options of intussusception.

Work Up

We report the case of a 63-year-old female patient with liver cirrhosis who presented with symptoms of severe hypoalbuminaemia and diarrhoea. After ruling out other causes of hypoalbuminaemia and confirmation of an elevated faecal α-1 antitrypsin clearance, the diagnosis of protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) could be established. Since PLE is a syndrome caused by various diseases, classified into erosive and non-erosive gastrointestinal diseases or lymphatic obstruction, an extensive work-up was necessary, establishing the final diagnosis of Crohn’s disease.

Surveillance Endoscopy

Idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) encompasses two major types: ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn disease (CD). The pathologic features of UC are typically restricted to the mucosa and superficial submucosa, whereas CD is characterized by patchy, segmental, mucosal, and mural inflammation. This review covers the classic pathologic features of IBD, differential diagnosis, dysplasia in IBD, and practical guidelines for clinicians who perform surveillance endoscopy. Figures show gross specimens of UC and CD variations and low- and high-grade dysplasia. Tables list the microscopic features of untreated UC and CD, the most common causes of uncertainty in IBD pathology that lead to a diagnosis of indeterminate colitis, a summary of inflammatory disorders of the colon that may mimic UC or CD on biopsy or resection, and diseases that can occur in patients with established UC or CD and result in changes to the type, pattern, and severity of inflammation. This review contains 5 highly rendered figures, 4 tables, and 75 references.

Necrosis Factor

The incidence of anti–tumour necrosis factor (TNF)–induced psoriasiform eruptions has ranged in the literature between 0.5% and 10.9% of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The morphology of the rash varies, with plaque psoriasis being the most common form. Generalized pustular eruption is reported in 10.2% of cases of anti–TNF-induced psoriasis. We are reporting a unique case of anti–TNF-associated psoriasiform eruption due to the severity of the rash presenting as a generalized pustular eruption in association with plaque psoriasiform rash requiring systemic therapy.

Background: Fatigue is the most burdensome aspect of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Despite this, people tend not to discuss fatigue or seek help. Aims: To uncover the reasons people do or do not seek help for fatigue in IBD. Methods: A qualitative approach was employed, underpinned by the Theory of Planned Behaviour. Semi-structured interview questions were posed to a voluntary sample of 12 participants with self-reported diagnosis of IBD fatigue, recruited from the Irish Society of Colitis and Crohn's. The sample included individuals who had and had not sought help in the past. Findings: The availability of management options, symptom perception, symptom impact, knowledge of sources of help and inferiority of fatigue as a symptom can influence help-seeking behaviour. Fatigue is viewed as inferior to other symptoms of IBD, which influences help-seeking behaviour and help-seeking experiences. Conclusions: Health professionals can increase help-seeking by informing patients about the symptom and identifying a specific source of help for fatigue.
