Is Intussusception Common in Neonate?

Abstract

Intussusception is a medical and surgical condition in which a part of the intestine folds into the section immediately ahead of it [1]. It typically involves the small bowel and less commonly the large bowel [1]. The causes of inter-suspension in the neonates may be duo to sepsis, intestinal polyps. The recurrence rate is very high and family history in siblings is important.
