Chronic intussusception, a rare condition, can cause failure to thrive in children. This case highlights its distinct symptoms and the importance of timely diagnosis for successful treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Pediatrics

Background:

  • Chronic intussusception is an uncommon cause of pediatric failure to thrive.
  • Its clinical presentation differs significantly from acute intussusception, often leading to diagnostic delays.

Observation:

  • A 16-month-old boy presented with a three-week history of anorexia, diarrhea, and weight loss.
  • The child's symptoms were indicative of chronic intussusception, a condition often overlooked due to its subtle presentation.

Findings:

  • The case illustrates the challenges in diagnosing chronic intussusception due to its non-specific symptoms.
  • Delayed diagnosis in this case was attributed to the atypical presentation compared to acute intussusception.

Implications:
