[Intestinal invagination in children older than one year]
Insights
Diagnosing intestinal intussusception in children over one year old requires advanced imaging and surgical exploration. Prompt diagnosis and treatment led to successful outcomes in all analyzed cases.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Surgery
- Gastroenterology
Context:
- Intestinal intussusception in children over one year old presents atypical clinical signs, often mimicking other acute abdominal conditions.
- Organic factors are frequently the underlying cause of intussusception in this age group.
Purpose:
- To analyze the treatment outcomes of 51 children over one year old diagnosed with intestinal intussusception.
- To highlight the diagnostic challenges and effective management strategies for pediatric intussusception.
Summary:
- Analysis of 51 children over one year old with intestinal intussusception revealed atypical presentations due to organic causes.
- Effective diagnosis relies on roentgenological imaging, endoscopic procedures, and laparoscopy.
- A rational management approach resulted in successful treatment for all patients.
Impact:
- Emphasizes the importance of utilizing advanced diagnostic tools for timely intussusception diagnosis in children.
- Demonstrates that prompt and appropriate intervention leads to favorable treatment results in pediatric intussusception.
Abstract:
The results of treatment of 51 children at the age over 1 year with intestinal invagination were analysed. Intestinal invagination in them is caused by the organic factors, the course is atypical, clinical signs--as in other acute abdominal diseases. For timely diagnosis of intestinal invagination, it is necessary to use the roentgenological, endoscopic methods of investigation and laparoscopy. Rational tactics permitted the authors to achieve the positive results of treatment in all the patients.
