Abstract
Intussusception of the colon initiated by a malignant tumor is an extremely rare occurrence during pregnancy. The nonspecific presenting symptoms may be attributed to the pregnancy itself, making diagnosis difficult. We report a case in which the use of magnetic resonance imaging led to prompt diagnosis.
