What is Intussusception about?

Intussusception is a condition where one segment of the bowel invaginates into another, commonly affecting the terminal ileum and colon, and is often seen in children aged 6-24 months. Symptoms include abdominal pain, vomiting, and potentially bloody stools, with diagnosis typically confirmed through imaging. Treatment options include non-surgical reduction via air or contrast enema and surgical intervention if non-surgical methods fail, with a risk of recurrence in 5-10% of cases.
