Abstract

1. Plain radiographs of the abdomen of 41 patients with intussusception were interspersed with those of 128 controls. 2. Four radiologists attempted to make a diagnosis of intussusception based solely on the plain film findings which have been described in the literature. 3. With the exception of a soft tissue mass or bowel obstruction, the various signs of intussusception were found generally to be either vague or non-specific and subject to a high degree of personal interpretation. 4. Clinical suspicion of intussusception warrants barium study regardless of plain film findings.
