Intussusception of the appendix in children.

G O Atkinson, B B Gay, D Naffis

    AJR. American Journal of Roentgenology
    |June 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    Appendiceal intussusception, though rare, often affects children and can cause ileocolic intussusception. This condition may present as primary appendiceal invagination or, more frequently, lead to secondary intussusception.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Intussusception is a condition where one part of the intestine slides into another, causing obstruction.
    • Appendiceal intussusception is an uncommon etiology, particularly in the pediatric population.
    • It can manifest as primary invagination of the appendix or secondary intussusception.

    Observation:

    • Presents two cases of partial appendiceal intussusception leading to secondary intussusception.
    • Highlights the challenges in diagnosis and management of this rare condition.
    • Emphasizes the importance of considering appendiceal intussusception in pediatric ileocolic intussusception.

    Findings:

    • Appendiceal intussusception is an unusual cause of ileocolic intussusception, predominantly seen in children.
    • The condition can be classified based on its origin and extent.
    • Radiographic findings and clinical presentation aid in differential diagnosis.

    Implications:

    • Understanding appendiceal intussusception is crucial for accurate diagnosis and timely surgical intervention in pediatric patients.
    • This condition necessitates a thorough differential diagnosis in cases of ileocolic intussusception.
    • Further research into the classification and management of appendiceal intussusception can improve patient outcomes.
