abstract appendiceal intussusception is a very rare cause of abdominal colic in childhood. this paper reports a reducible appendiceal intussusception in the barium enema in a girl and reviews articles in pubmed.

conventional hydrostatic barium reduction or pneumatic reduction of intussusception is associated with considerable ionizing radiation. the aim of this study was to evaluate ultrasound-guided hydrostatic reduction for childhood intussusception using water enema. a total of 76 children who diagnosed as having intussusception were referred to doctor sheikh children hospital in mashhad (northeast ...

Background Intussusception is the main cause of bowel obstruction and one of the most common surgical emergencies that can occur during childhood. That is why this study investigates the effective factors for non-surgical reduction in patients who have experienced successful reduction in intussusception to determine the effective factors. Materials and Methods This retrospective study was perfo...

we present a case of infantile intussusception treated successfully using hydrostatic reduction, highlighting the importance of non-surgical techniques as the first line of management for this entity. physicians should strive for mastery over such techniques by extensive training to prevent unwanted surgical procedures in such cases.

colonic lipoma is a benign neoplasm that can lead to colonic obstruction but concomitant intussusception is rare in adults. in this case, colocolic intussusception due to a lipoma in the descending colon had occurred. by laparatomy, we diagnosed the problem , but reduction was impossible . so resection of the colon with mass was done and anastomosed. after surgery and 3 years follow up the pati...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the role of pneumatic reduction in the management of intussusception in children in the setting of a sub-Saharan African nation. DESIGN Prospective case series. SETTING Tertiary care teaching hospital in Kumasi, Ghana. SUBJECTS Forty four children, aged 4 months to 13 years, 28 boys and 16 girls, were admitted with a clinical diagnosis of intussusception and confirme...

Intussusception occurs mainly in children but rarely in adults. About 80-90% of adult cases of intussusception are due to benign or malignant neoplasms as a lead point. One of the causes is an inflammatory fibroid polyp (IFP), a rare, benign entity that occurs more frequently in the stomach than the ileum. We describe an uncommon case of a patient who presented with intussusception-induced IFP ...
