        <p>ABSTRACTIntussusception is quite common in the gastrointestinal tract and that too in the paediatric population though the aetiology is mostly idiopathic (90%). While in adults it is rare and is usually caused by an identifiable underlying lesion mainly neoplasm (70-90%) which usually acts as a lead point. It has a non-specific clinical presentation with a limited role of history and examination in the final diagnosis and Computed tomography is considered the gold standard investigation in establishing the diagnosis. We present an unusual case of jejuno-jejunal intussusception which was caused by a leiomyoma polyp. Thus an Exploratory laparotomy was done, resecting the polyp with the jejunal segment and the diagnosis was confirmed by histopathological examination.
