BACKGROUND Post-polypectomy electrocoagulation syndrome(PPES)can occur after colonoscopic polypectomy and is usually treated conservatively with a positive prognosis.Nevertheless,there can be cases with complications developing.CASE SUMMARY A 58-year-old woman,who had no previous medical history,visited the Emergency Department of another hospital with symptoms of abdominal pain and fever,1 d after multiple colonoscopic polypectomies.An abdominopelvic computed tomography(CT)scan demonstrated colo-colonic intussusception,and she was transferred to our hospital to consider an operation.CT showed colocolonic intussusception with PPES and no evidence of obstruction.The physical examination showed localized mild tenderness on the right sided abdomen.The patient fasted and was admitted for treatment with intravenous antibiotics(piperacillin/tazobactam 4.5 g each 8 h,ornidazole 500 mg each 12 h).After admission,the symptoms got better and a follow-up CT scan demonstrated resolution of the PPES and intussusception.The patient was discharged on hospital day 9.CONCLUSION Colo-colic intussusception can occur with PPES,and it can be properly treated conservatively.
