From: Anal protrusion of an ileo-colic intussusception in an adult with persistent ascending and descending mesocolons: a case report

Figure 3

Intussusception following maximal manual reduction, requiring resection. The photograph shows the intussusception after ‘milking’ it as much as possible, yet still incompletely reduced. Yellow arrow – ileum at the point of invagination into the caecum/ascending colon. The ileal mesentery is grossly thickened. Red arrow – thickened intussusceptum and intussuscepiens at the ascending colon. Green arrow – illustrates the persistent ascending mesocolon. Deep blue arrow – enlarged lymph node of the mesentery. Histopathological examination showed reactive hyperplasia.
