Abstract
Intussusception and celiac disease both are common in children. Intussusception has been rarely associated with celiac disease in children, which mostly involved small bowel, are transient without classical symptoms, reduced spontaneously and rarely needs intervention. Authors are reporting a 2-year girl who presented initially as gastroenteritis and later on intestinal obstruction and on investigation revealed ileo-ileal intussusception which resolved spontaneously during laparotomy preparation. The patient had growth retardation and microcytic hypochromic anemia and on further evaluation diagnosed with celiac disease. This case report highlights the need of celiac testing in children with intussusception, and such intussusception resolved spontaneously with gluten free diet and rarely needs any active intervention, thus preventing from undue nonsurgical or surgical interventions for intussusception.
