Chronic intussusception in children.

B I Rees, J Lari

    The British Journal of Surgery
    |January 1, 1976

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Chronic intussusception in children often presents subtly, without typical signs like a palpable mass or rectal bleeding. Consider this condition for persistent abdominal symptoms to improve timely diagnosis and management.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Chronic intussusception is a rare pediatric condition often presenting with non-specific symptoms.
    • Delayed diagnosis is common due to the absence of classic diagnostic indicators.

    Observation:

    • Three pediatric cases of chronic intussusception are presented.
    • Weight loss was a consistent finding; one child underwent malabsorption investigations.
    • Classic signs like palpable abdominal mass or bloody stools were absent in these cases.

    Findings:

    • Diagnosis of chronic intussusception requires a high index of suspicion in children with persistent, unexplained abdominal symptoms.
    • Barium enema aided diagnosis but did not achieve reduction.
    • The study highlights diagnostic delays and discusses recurrence management.

    Implications:

    • Increased consideration of chronic intussusception in pediatric differential diagnoses for persistent abdominal pain is warranted.
    • Early recognition can prevent diagnostic delays and improve patient outcomes.
    • Further research into optimal management strategies for recurrent intussusception is needed.
