BYL Nair Charitable Hospital, Mumbai. We report two patients with intussusception, one due to a lipoma in the jejunum and the other due to a Meckel s diverticulum.
Intraluminal lesions alter normal bowel peristalsis and form leading edges for the intussusceptum.

In view of the persistent pain and high Ryle s tube aspirate patient was explored. Intraoperatively there was a jejuno-jejunal intussusception with a viable bowel.
