Misdiagnosis of Underlying Causes of Intussusception

Underlying conditions list: The list of possible underlying conditions mentioned in various sources for Intussusception includes:

Colon polyp
Colorectal Polyps information: Polyp growths in the colon or rectum.


Colorectal Polyps information: Most types of colorectal cancer begin with polyps (or grape-like growths on the lining of the colon and rectum). Polyps are very common in people over age 50 and usually are benign (not cancerous). But some polyps do develop slowly over the years into cancer, often causing no symptoms. Screening tests can find polyps that can be removed, preventing cancer. Screening tests can also pick up colorectal cancer at an early stage, when it can be cured.


Diverticular disease
Information on Diverticular Disease: Diverticular disease includes both "diverticulosis" which is just protrusion of the colon wall, and "diverticulitis" which is actual inflammation or infection of these protrusions.


Diverticular Disease information: Many people have small pouches in their colons that bulge outward through weak spots, like an inner tube that pokes through weak places in a tire. Each pouch is called a diverticulum. Pouches (plural) are called diverticula. The condition of having diverticula is called diverticulosis.
