Abstract

A consecutive series of 288 patients with intussusception is presented. It is shown that radiologic examination, including barium enema, is necessary to establish an early and accurate diagnosis. Barium enema reduction was the preferred therapeutic method. The reduction rate in relation to symptoms, duration of illness, type and site of intussusception, intestinal obstruction, and organic lead points is appraised. The reduction rate during the last decade was 87%.
