This is a section of bowel that has been sleeved inside of another portion of bowel. The peristaltic action has picked up one piece of bowel and pulled it inside the portion just downstream. Kind of like getting coat sleeves turned inside out several times over. It’s very painful and if not reduced, will lead to vascular compromise and infarction of the segment of bowel tucked inside. See this slide with the virtual microscope. |
