| Intussusception occurs when a portion of the intestine folds like a telescope, with one segment slipping inside another segment. It can occur anywhere in the intestines. This causes an obstruction, preventing the passage of food that is being digested through the intestine. | ||||
| Etiology |
The cause of intussusception is not known. Though rare, an increased incidence of developing intussusception may be seen in children: · Who have abdominal or intestinal tumors or masses · Who have appendicitis
|
|||
| Occurrence/Epidemiology |
Children less than 3 years old, can also occur in older children, teenagers, and adults. · Intussusception occurs more often in boys than girls.

Clinical Presentation (subjective and physical examination) |
Subjective: Pain, Sudden loud crying, Straining, Draw knees up, Irritable.
|
Objective: red mucus or jelly like stool, fever, lethargic, vomiting bile, diarrhea, sweating, dehydration, abdominal distention or lump. | ||
| Diagnostic Testing | X-Ray: may demonstrate an elongated soft tissue mass with a bowel obstruction proximal to it. |
Ultrasound: ‘Target Sign’ also known as the doughnut sign or bull’s eye sign. appearance is generated by concentric alternating echogenic and hypoechogenic bands. |
Upper & Lower GI Series (Barium Swallow & Enema): giving the “coiled spring” appearance | |
|
3 Differential Diagnosis (include difference between each differential diagnosis & the main diagnosis) |
Intussusception: Pain, sudden crying, red mucus or jelly like stool, fever, lethargic, vomiting bile, diarrhea, sweating, dehydration, abdominal distention or lump. |
Gastroenteritis: vomiting that are typically nonbilious, often with anorexia, fever, lethargy, and diarrhea. NO JELLY LIKE STOOL |
Gastric Volvulus: Epigastric pain tenderness and distention, vomiting, bloody diarrhea
NO JELLY LIKE STOOL, |
Appendicitis: abdominal pain that has migrated from a periumbilical position to the right lower quadrant. NO JELLY LIKE STOOL, NOR MASS |
| Non-Pharmacologic Management | There are currently no non pharmacological treatments. | |||
| Pharmacologic Management |
May fix itself while being diagnosed with barium enema. Air enema (aids in moving intestines back). Antibiotics if infection present Surgery: push the telescoped intestine back out. Rare cases a resection of intestines may happen, and stoma created.
|
|||
| Follow Up | With toleration of diet, patients treated with nonoperative reduction are usually discharged 12-18 hours after the therapeutic enema. After operative reduction, postoperative progress dictates the length of stay. | |||
