초록

장중첩증은 장 일부가 원위부 장관 내로 유입되는 상태로 성인의 경우 전체 장중첩증의 5%에서 발생하는 드문 질환이다. 최근 영상 검사가 증가하면서 성인 소장 장중첩증의 진단이 증가하고 있고, 그 중 수술적인 치료가 불필요한 일과성 장중첩증인 경우 정확한 치료방향 정립이 무엇보다 중요하다. 성인일과성 소장 장중첩증은 대개 증상이 없고 영상 검사에서 선행병변이나 중첩 근위부의 소장 확장 소견이 보이지 않으며 특히 중첩 길이가 3.5 cm 이하일 경우 수술적인 치료 없이 보존 치료로 회복될 수 있다. 이번 증례는 성인에서 소장 장중첩증이 일시적으로 발생하였다가 대증 치료로 소실된 증례로서 문헌고찰을 통해 재조명하고자 한다.

Intussusception occurs when a segment of the bowel invaginates into the lumen of an adjacent distal segment. Intussusception in adults is a rare disease, accounting for only 5% of all cases. Asymptomatic small bowel intussusception in adults without a lead point is usually transient. When the length of the intussusception is less than 3.5 cm, it can be managed conservatively. This case was an asymptomatic small bowel intussusception without a lead point, which was discovered incidentally during an abdominal computed tomography scan. Spontaneous reduction in the intussusception was observed without any complications while maintaining conservative treatment only.
