Abstract

Retrograde jejunogastric intussusception is a rare complication of gastric surgery. Approximately 250 cases have been reported till now. It has varied clinical and endoscopic presentations. Since gastrojejunostomy with vagotomy are on a declining trend, it is extremely rare to come across such a complication. The condition can be acute and life threatening or chronic and disabling. We report four such cases with different endoscopic and clinical presentations.

Key words

Gastrectomy - gastrojejunostomy - retrograde jejunogastric intussusceptions
