Abstract
Introduction: intussusception, which is the telescoping of a portion of the intestine into another, is the most common cause of intestinal obstruction in children 3 months to 5 years. Intussusception can be classified by etiology or more commonly by point of origin. The ileocolic location represents about 90% of cases. The diagnosis of intussusception can be difficult and requires a high clinical suspicion, especially when the typical signs and symptoms are not present. Plain abdominal radiography and ultrasound studies are used for diagnosis of intestinal intussusception. In a large number of patients, intussusception can be reduced without surgery, however, failure of noninvasive methods, the delay in initial treatment and the presence of signs suggesting peritonitis are clear indications of laparotomy. Case: a case report of a 2 months age patient with ileo-ilear and ileo-colic intussusception with surgical management.
