Retrograde jejunogastric intussusception is a rare but potentially fatal complication, according to the time of diagnosis and intervention. Due to its low incidence, a high diagnostic suspicion is required, based on the clinical and surgical history. This study presents the case of a patient of 74 years old with a history of gastrojejunostomy and duodenal cerclage performed as part of duodenal ulcer treatment 20 years ago. The patient was admitted to the emergency unit, after 7 days of having symptoms such as pain, intolerance to oral intake, and hematemesis. Diagnosis was performed by upper digestive tract endoscopy and the final treatment by subtotal gastrectomy and transmesocolic Roux-en-Y reconstruction by laparotomy.
