A 97-year-old woman with anorexia was admitted to our hospital. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen revealed gastric invagination of the fundus into the body. No evident lesion was identified in the intussusceptum, and the invagination was successfully treated through endoscopy. Although a laceration was found in the fundus during the procedure, it was treated conservatively. She was found to have a recurrence of intussusception on Day 16 of admission on follow-up CT. The introverted portion of the fundus might have been introduced into the distal stomach as an invaginated segment. To our knowledge, gastric intussusception without a lead point, such as in this case, has been rarely reported. This is a valuable case to elucidate the mechanism of intussusception without a lead point.
