FERNANDEZ-ATUTXA, Alberto et al. Cannabis intake and intussusception: an accidental association?. Rev. esp. enferm. dig. [online]. 2017, vol.109, n.2, pp.157-159. ISSN 1130-0108. https://dx.doi.org/10.17235/reed.2016.4288/2016.
Most intussusception cases in adults have an organic cause and their treatment is surgical. In some cases, there is no injury associated with intussusception and we can opt for conservative management. In our clinical practice we have shown the presence of intussusceptions in the absence of structural damage associated with chronic cannabis with a good course after conservative management. We describe three cases of recurrent intussusception in cannabis users, suggesting a relationship between cannabis use and the incidence of intussusception.
