Intussusception is defined as the invagination of one segment of the bowel into an immediately adjacent segment of the bowel. Idiopathic ileocolic intussusception is the most common form in children and is typically managed with nonoperative reduction ...
اقرأ المزيدAbdominal computed tomography is the most accurate diagnostic procedure, revealing intussusception in 78% of cases. Barium enema examination yields a diagnosis in about half of cases; upper gastrointestinal studies yield a diagnosis in fewer than a quarter of cases. 1, 9. Our patient likely had idiopathic intussusception.
اقرأ المزيدIntussusception (in-tuh-suh-SEP-shun) is a serious condition in which part of the intestine slides into an adjacent part of the intestine. This telping action often blocks food or fluid from passing through. Intussusception also cuts off the blood supply to the part of the intestine that's affected. This can lead to infection, death of bowel tissue or a …
اقرأ المزيدIntussusception is the invagination of a segment of intestine into another segment of intestine (Fig. 1 ). Idiopathic ileocolonic intussusception occurs most commonly in children aged 6 months to 2 years old. Most cases can be reduced with hydrostatic or air enema; few cases will need operative repair.
اقرأ المزيدIntussusception is referred to as recurrent when after being spontaneously reduced it is re-diagnosed clinically and on ultrasound, later confirmed at operation; or it is a post-operative intussusception in a patient where it was reduced at an open surgery or non-operatively either with hydrostatic or pneumatic method [ 1, 2, 3 ].
اقرأ المزيدIntussusception is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction in adults. The diagnosis of intussusception is usually delayed because of its nonspecific presentation. [ 1] Nevertheless, intussusception is an important differential diagnosis because it is mainly due to a pathological mass lesion. [ 2] Surgical treatment is the main choice of the …
اقرأ المزيدIntussusception is telping of one portion of the intestine (intussusceptum) into an adjacent segment (intussuscipiens), causing intestinal obstruction and sometimes intestinal ischemia. Diagnosis is by ultrasonography. Treatment is with an air enema (for the most common type of intussusception, the ileocolic type) and sometimes surgery.
اقرأ المزيدIntussusception (see the image below) is a process in which a segment of intestine invaginates into the adjoining intestinal lumen, causing bowel obstruction. With early diagnosis, appropriate fluid resuscitation, and therapy, the mortality rate from intussusception in children is less than 1%.
اقرأ المزيدIntussusception is a serious condition in which a segment of the bowel acts like a telpe, folding into the adjacent segment. This is a problem for two reasons. First, digested material cannot pass through the telped area causing a blockage. Second, blood is not able to get to the affected bowel segment. If this problem is not fixed, the …
