Abstract

Ultrasonographic diagnosis of intussusception is now a part of standard clinical practice. There are reports in the literature in which ultrasonography enabled the identifica- tion of their underlying causes; however, there has been no report of ultrasonographic fea- tures of intussusception caused by a neurofibroma.
We report a case of small intestinal intussusception caused by a neurofibroma. Ultra- sound of the abdomen revealed concentric rings with the lead point formed a complex mass in the center of the intussusception. This was proven on operative and pathological findings.
