Abstract
Saline hydrostatic reduction and pneumatic reduction of uncomplicated intussusception under ultrasound guidance in infants might have comparable outcomes. However, pneumatic reduction may be faster. • Ileocolic intussusception is the most common cause of intestinal obstruction in infants. • Ultrasonography is useful in the diagnosis and non-operative treatment of ileocolic intussusception. • Ultrasound-guided hydrostatic enema and ultrasound-guided pneumatic enema are similarly effective and safe techniques in the reduction of ileocolic intussusception. • Reduction of ileocolic intussusception under ultrasound guidance is a great technique that may prove useful in the developing world due to lower cost of required equipment.
