Abstract:
Point of care ultrasound (POCUS) is useful in diagnosing intussusception. In this case file, we describe a 69-year-old man presenting with nausea, vomiting, left upper quadrant abdominal pain and recent weight loss who had findings concerning for intussusception on POCUS. This led the emergency provider to order computed tomography (CT) which confirmed the diagnosis.
