    RationaleRetrograde jejunoduodenogastric intussusception refers to invagination of distal small intestine into the stomach. It is extremely rare. It is often associated with displaced feeding catheter in which its balloon tip migrates past the gastric pylorus. The intussusception is triggered by retraction of migrated catheter. It is often accompanied by feeding intolerance or catheter malfunction. This report describes a distinctive case of retrograde jejunoduodenogastric intussusception associated with a fully functioning nonballoon nasojejunal tube.Patient ConcernA 19-year-old female was presented with repeated vomiting and abdominal distension for 5 days.DiagnosisAn abdominal computerized tomography revealed retrograde jejunoduodenogastric intussusception causing air/fluid-filled gastric distension. Immediate endoscopic examination revealed a loop of small intestine, protruding through the pylorus. Progressed ischemia of the migrated small bowel loop was confirmed.InterventionsAt laparotomy, a jejunal loop migrating into the duodenum and stomach at the level of the ligament of Treitz was noticed. After manual reduction of migrated bowel, 2 segmental resections of necrotic segment were performed. A feeding jejunostomy was constructed in the proximal jejunum.OutcomesEnteral feeding through the surgically constructed feeding jejunostomy was started on the 5th operative day and the patient was discharged on the 16th postoperative day.LessonsWhen a patient under tube feeding exhibits abrupt intractable gastroesophageal reflux with a sign of catheter migration, we must consider the possibility of catheter-related intussusception. Having a fully functioning feeding catheter with nonballoon tip does not preclude retrograde jejunoduodenogastric intussusception.Copyright © 2024 the Author(s).
