Intussusceptions is the most common cause of bowel obstruction in children between 5 months and 1 year of age. Intussusceptions occurs when a portion of the bowel folds like a telescope, with one segment slipping inside another segment. This study refers to a group of 72 children, with intussusceptions diagnosis between 1975-2000 in our clinic. The authors are also analyzing these cases from the point of view of frequency on years, seasons, age, sex, residence, clinical forms, time since the intussusceptions occurred until the treatment begun.
