  • Title: Complex presentation of intussusception in childhood.
    Author: Dawrant MJ, Lee JC, Ho CP, De Caluwé D.
    Journal: Pediatr Surg Int; 2005 Sep; 21(9):730-2. PubMed ID: 15977016.
    Abstract:
    The simultaneous occurrence of intussusception and volvulus in the paediatric age group is rare. We report the case of a volvulus of an ileoileal intussusception in an 8-year-old boy. This is the first time that computerised tomography (CT) images of a volvulus of an ileoileal intussusception have been published, and they clearly demonstrate both pathologies. This case highlights the use of CT in determining the nature of an abdominal mass and demonstrates how helpful it can be in diagnosing the cause of small bowel obstruction in children.
