Prenatal and neonatal intussusception are distinct conditions with different presentations and outcomes. Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for improving outcomes in these rare infant conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Neonatal Medicine
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Intussusception in the first month of life is often categorized as neonatal intussusception.
  • However, it encompasses both prenatal and neonatal occurrences, which present differently.

Observation:

  • This study presents four full-term infants with prenatal intussusception mimicking intestinal atresia (IA).
  • Three premature infants with neonatal intussusception presented with symptoms similar to necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC).

Findings:

  • Prenatal intussusception causes immediate postnatal intestinal obstruction, often diagnosed during surgery.
  • Neonatal intussusception in full-term infants typically involves the colon and is diagnosed with barium enema.
  • Neonatal intussusception in premature infants is insidious, mimics NEC, and requires high clinical suspicion for diagnosis.

Implications:

  • Distinguishing between prenatal and neonatal intussusception is vital for appropriate management.
  • Serial abdominal sonograms can aid in the early diagnosis of neonatal intussusception in premature infants.
  • Prompt surgical correction is essential to prevent diagnostic delays and improve patient outcomes.
