Intussusception is defined as: “invagination or telescoping of proximal loop of intestine (intussusceptum) into a distal segment (intussuscipiens) and leads to bowel obstruction” (Rogers and Robb, 2010). This leads to impaired venous return, incarceration and finally necrosis of the trapped segment (Nylund et al, 2010). It is the most common surgical emergency in infants and young children. Pat...

OBJECTIVE To describe the sonographic (US) and clinical features of spontaneously reduced small bowel intussusception, and to discuss the management options for small bowel intussusception based on US findings with clinical correlation. MATERIALS AND METHODS During a five years of period, 34 small bowel intussusceptions were diagnosed on US in 32 infants and children. The clinical presentatio...

Intussusception is well-recognised in young children; however this condition is very rare in newborns [1]. Neonatal intussusception is usually caused by several conditions including Meckel’s diverticulum, intestinal polyps and intestinal duplication [1]. Meckel’s diverticulum can present at any age group; however rarely, a symptomatic Meckel’s diverticulum may present in neonates [2]. We report...

INTRODUCTION Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is an uncommon clinical manifestation. Patients with SIT typically have malformation in the thorax and abdomen. The incidence of SIT ranges from 1/10,000 to 1/20,000 (Al-Jumaily and Hoche. J Laparoendosc Adv Surg Tech A 2001;11:229). Jejunojejunal intussusception is a rare complication after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Intussusception in adult cases accou...

Introduction: Intussusception is a pediatric emergency. If it not treated immediately, the obstruction process can cause arterial and leads to intestinal necrosis. Not all patient shows classic syndrome triad. Thus, imaging needed make diagnosis. Ultrasonography first choice of in children because easy, without radiation sedation. It has high accuracy for diagnosis intussusception. Ultrasonogra...
