Introduction Isolated heterotopic pancreas (HP) as the primary cause of bowel intussusception is extremely rare. We report
a case of a 33-year-old female patient with spina bifida admitted to the Emergency Surgical Department for ileal intussusception
due to the presence of heterotopic pancreas associated with endometriosis.
Areas Covered Symptomatic ileal intussusception for ectopic pancreas is usually associated with overt gastrointestinal blood
loss (predominantly melena), abdominal pain, vomiting, and weight loss. Treatment is universally surgical.

Aim: The aim of the present study was to investigate topographical working memory in individuals with motor disabilities. Methods: Topographical working memory was investigated using the Walking Corsi Test in 89 participants with motor disability, mean age 11.5 years, of which 40 with cerebral palsy, 31 with spina bifida, and 18 with orthopaedic or peripheral symptoms. The participants were grouped according to everyday mobility, i.e. walking outdoors, walking indoors, and using wheelchair. A control group constituted 120 typically developing participants, mean age 9.9 years.
