A 62-year-old lady presented to the hospital with severe abdominal pain and vomiting since 2 days. There was no significant past medical history. A contrast-enhanced CT of the abdomen showed an ileocolic intussusception (Fig. 1A, C) with a polypoidal enhancing mass (Fig. 1B) as the lead point of the intussusception. There were no abnormal enhancing vascular channels seen in the involved segments of the ileum or colon and no evidence to suggest an arteriovenous malformation.
