Abstract
Duodenojejunal intussusception secondary to duodenal tumors is an uncommon entity. The classic coiled-spring appearance, fairly visible in the jejunum, is not apparent in the duodenum due to its fixed position. This explains why the intussusception is located superiorly in the genu inferius and inferiorly in the duodenojejunal junction. This aspect should not be confused with two separated masses.
