Enteric intussusception is a common cause of acute abdomen in young children. This study reviewed 30 cases, analyzing clinical presentations and treatment outcomes for this pediatric condition.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Gastroenterology
  • Medical Imaging

Context:

  • Enteric intussusception is a frequent cause of acute abdomen in early childhood.
  • Incidence is 1.3-2/1000 children, peaking between 3-12 months.
  • Primary intussusception linked to peristalsis disorders or Peyer's patch hypertrophy; secondary intussusception due to intestinal wall injury.

Purpose:

  • To analyze clinical presentations and management of enteric intussusception in children.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.

Summary:

  • Retrospective review of 30 pediatric cases (1 month to 2 years) at the Pediatric Clinic of Pisa.
  • Clinical presentations included typical (60%), atypical (16%), subacute (13%), and recurrent (10%) forms.

  • Diagnosis confirmed by rectal bleeding or opaque enema; hydrostatic reduction successful in 40%, surgery in 60%.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the diverse clinical spectrum of enteric intussusception in children.
    • Emphasizes the role of rectal bleeding and opaque enema in diagnosis and management.
    • Provides insights into surgical versus non-surgical treatment outcomes for pediatric intussusception.
