Intussusception: Causes, Symptoms, Management by kanishkakavi98 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Intussusception is most common in infants aged 5-10 months, with a higher incidence in males and often involves ileo-colic segments. Clinical features include abdominal pain, red current jelly stools, and abdominal masses, while management involves emergency resuscitation, imaging, and potential surgical intervention if conservative methods fail. Causes vary by age group, with infants often having idiopathic cases and adults typically having identifiable lead points such as tumors or polyps.
