This case report describes a unique presentation of retrograde ileo-ileal intussusception occurring in conjunction with a giant Meckel's diverticulum in a six-year-old boy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case presentation:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A six-year-old male presented with signs of intestinal obstruction. Abdominal ultrasound revealed classic target signs, and the patient was taken for emergency laparotomy. Intraoperatively, a retrograde ileo-ileal intussusception into a giant Meckel's diverticulum was discovered, necessitating resection and end-to-end ileo-ileal anastomosis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Clinical discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The case underscores the diagnostic challenges associated with retrograde intussusception. In the discussion, a comparison is made with a similar report describing Meckel's diverticulum associated with internal hernia and volvulus (Al-Salem et al., 2021), emphasizing the spectrum of complications related to Meckel's diverticulum. This comparison highlights the novelty of our case in the context of pediatric intestinal emergencies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This report highlights the need for a high index of suspicion in pediatric patients with intestinal obstruction and emphasizes that retrograde intussusception complicating giant Meckel's diverticulum, although rare, should be considered in the differential diagnosis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Highlights<\/jats:title>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2025.111170","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,17]],"date-time":"2025-03-17T15:11:20Z","timestamp":1742224280000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Retrograde intussusception as a rare complication of giant Meckel's diverticulum in a six-year-old male patient with intestinal obstruction: A case report"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"130","author":[{"given":"Nek Arthur","family":"Jonathan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Kabale University School of Medicine, Uganda"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tuhaise","family":"Gamukama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Kabale Regional Referral Hospital, Uganda"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Charles","family":"Tumwesige","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Kabale University School of Medicine, Uganda"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Odulusi","family":"Daniel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Kabale University School of Medicine, Uganda"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"James","family":"Ampumuza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Kabale University School of Medicine, Uganda"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Arnold Bwambale","family":"Asingya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Kabale University School of Medicine, Uganda"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"issue":"5","key":"R1-2-20260304","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1136","DOI":"10.1097\/JS9.0000000000000373","article-title":"The SCARE 2023 guideline: updating consensus Surgical CAse REport (SCARE) guidelines","volume":"109","author":"Sohrabi","year":"2023","journal-title":"Int J Surg Lond Engl"},{"key":"R2-2-20260304","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"398","DOI":"10.1186\/s12893-021-01391-0","article-title":"The diagnosis and treatment of retrograde intussusception: a single-centre experience","volume":"21","author":"Zhang","year":"2021","journal-title":"BMC Surg"},{"issue":"1","key":"R3-2-20260304","article-title":"A child's acute intestinal intussusception and literature review","volume":"8","author":"Yehouenou Tessi","year":"2021","journal-title":"Global Pediatr.
