Research Notes on Intussusception
Intussusception is a rare but dangerous condition in young children, generally ages 3 months to 6 years. It is the sliding of one part of the intestine into another. It involves a sudden onset of severe abdominal pain that comes in waves. At first the child may act normally between the episodes of pain, but if the diagnosis is delayed, may become progressively more sick.
