Case report shows how ultrasound aids diagnosis of intussusception in adults, suggesting better management outcomes.

In patients with nonspecific abdominal symptoms, this may expedite CT confirmation, support appropriate surgical referral, and improve diagnostic confidence and overall clinical decision-making and management.
