Adult Ileocolic Intussusception in a Patient With Cystic Fibrosis: Diagnostic Role of Point‐of‐Care Ultrasound ‘Case Report’
This case highlights the importance of clinical vigilance and the utility of POCUS when managing patients with multi-systemic diseases, as they may present with atypical symptoms and rare diagnoses. Ultrasound is highly sensitive for diagnosing intussusception in the paediatric populations, but further studies may be needed to translate that finding to the adult population. Complementary computed tomography (CT) is of high value in evaluating for possible complications.
