  • Title: Rare presentation of small bowel intussusception in childhood.
    Author: Chan CY, Tsang PK, Chu PY, Wong YC.
    Journal: Pediatr Int; 2016 Jul; 58(7):642-5. PubMed ID: 27117717.
    Abstract:
    Small bowel intussusception complicated simultaneously by volvulus in an older child is rare but clinically significant, necessitating urgent operative management. We report a local case of jejuno-jejunal intussusception complicated by volvulus and bowel infarction in a 9-year-old Chinese girl, with diagnosis made on preoperative computed tomography and confirmed at laparotomy. An intestinal polyp as the lead point for intussusception was identified operatively.
