Abstract
A case of recurrent acute jejuno-jejunal intussusception presenting in the post operative period of the surgery for acute ileocolic intussusception is presented. Post operative intussusception is defined as intussusception occurring within 30 days of the primary surgery [1]. This is a rare entity. Jejuno-jejunal intussusception is also rare. Recurrent intussusception is uncommon. The present case is a combination of all these rarities.
Keywords: Recurrent intussusception, Jejuno-jejunal intussusception, Post operative intussusception
