Sigmoido-rectal intussusception, a rare condition in children, is often misdiagnosed as rectal prolapse. Early recognition by surgeons is crucial to prevent delayed treatment and improve outcomes.

Area of Science:

Pediatric surgery
Gastroenterology

Background:

Sigmoido-rectal intussusception is an uncommon cause of bowel obstruction in pediatric patients.
It is frequently misdiagnosed as rectal prolapse due to its presentation.

Observation:

Assessment of prolapsed bowel at the anal orifice can be incomplete.
The typical triad of intussusception (abdominal mass, pain, rectal bleeding) is often absent.

Findings:

Lack of surgeon awareness contributes to diagnostic delays.
Misdiagnosis as rectal prolapse is common, hindering timely intervention.

Implications:

Improved awareness and diagnostic criteria are needed for sigmoido-rectal intussusception.
Prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential for better pediatric surgical outcomes.
