A member asked:

Adult, mr enterography show jejunum loop is dilated, mild ileus possible,had multiple transient intussusception in that area before what causes it ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Surgical consult: I feel it's important for you to be evaluated by an abdominal surgeon for advice. It's likely that repeated intususceptions have somehow disturbed the motility of the duodenum. I don't think this is simply a localized Ileus. I'm concerned about the dilated loop which may become increasingly symptomatic or worsen.
