Intussusception is a well-recognized clinical entity that has been mainly attributed to pediatric population. Adult intussusception is an extremely rare condition presenting with diverse symptomatology. A high index of suspicion and early diagnosis with a CT scan will identify patients requiring emergent surgery. Present case report describes a patient with presentation of acute appendicitis and ultimately diagnosed to have ileocolic intussusception. Laparoscopic reduction of the intussusceptions and appendectomy cured the condition.
