Acute and Chronic Jejunogastric Intussusception

Abstract

RECOGNIZED cases of jejunogastric intussusception are relatively infrequent, and those proved at operation or autopsy are even more unusual. We have been able to find 98 articles on the subject, of which 21 are in the German literature, 15 are in British journals, 26 are in American publications, and 36 are from various countries including Russia, South America, France and Italy. Kopp1 collected 16 cases in 1925; Aleman2 assembled 70 cases in 1948; and in 1954 Palmer3 compiled a bibliography of 79 titles dealing with this subject. The 19 additional articles that we have found are both old and recent. . . .
