Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Gastroenterology
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Context:

  • Review of 22 pediatric intussusception cases treated between 1975-1989.
  • Gastroenteritis was the most common misdiagnosis prior to admission.

Purpose:

  • To analyze diagnostic accuracy, treatment outcomes, and clinical presentation of intussusception in children.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of barium enema reduction versus surgical intervention.

Summary:

  • Intussusception symptoms include vomiting, abdominal colic, palpable mass, bloody/mucus stools, and fever. Barium enema success rates were low (29%), particularly for symptom durations over 24 hours.
  • Early diagnosis correlated with higher success rates for non-operative treatment.
  • The classical triad of symptoms was present in only 41% of cases, emphasizing that its absence does not rule out intussusception.

Impact:

  • Highlights the importance of early diagnosis for successful non-operative intussusception management in children.
  • Suggests that clinical suspicion should remain high even without the classic symptom presentation.
  • Provides data on treatment outcomes and hospital stay durations for different interventions.
