Abstract
• Spontaneous intussusception in adults is rare. Recently, we managed two patients with chronic uremia in whom intussusception developed. Histologic examination of the resected segments showed intestinal intramural hemorrhage. We postulate that the coagulopathy associated with uremia may allow for intestinal intramural hemorrhage, thus forming a nidus from which intussusception may be initiated.
