A case of neonatal intussusception

P Cunningham, J S Rose, A Sokol

    Journal of Pediatric Surgery
    |April 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    A rare case of ileocolic intussusception in a neonate caused by a terminal ileum duplication is presented. Early surgical intervention is crucial for this condition, with barium enema being a key diagnostic method.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Gastroenterology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Intussusception is a common surgical emergency in infants.
    • Ileocolic intussusception accounts for the majority of cases.
    • Congenital anomalies can act as a leading point for intussusception.

    Observation:

    • A 48-hour-old neonate presented with ileocolic intussusception.
    • The intussusception was caused by a saccular duplication of the terminal ileum.
    • This duplication served as the leading point for the intussusception.

    Findings:

    • The case highlights the unique etiology of intussusception secondary to a congenital duplication.
    • Saccular duplication of the terminal ileum is a rare cause of neonatal intussusception.
    • Barium enema examination proved to be an effective diagnostic tool.

    Implications:

    • Early surgical intervention is critical for successful management of neonatal intussusception.
    • Recognition of congenital anomalies as leading points is essential for diagnosis and treatment.
    • Barium enema should be considered a primary diagnostic modality in suspected intussusception cases.
