Abstract
A case of gastroduodenal intussusception secondary to transpyloric prolapse of a primary gastric carcinoma is reported. Both the condition itself and the leading tumor, gastric carcinoma, are extremely exceptional. A diagnosi s of this rare entity was established pre-operatively by endoscopy that dem onstrated spontaneous reduction of the intussusception. This may be the fir st documentation of spontaneous reduction of the gastroduodenal intussuscep tion during endoscopy.
