Intussusception: past, present and future

Emily A Edwards et al. Pediatr Radiol. 2017 Aug.

Abstract

Intussusception is a common etiology of acute abdominal pain in children. Over the last 70 years, there have been significant changes in how we diagnose and treat intussusception, with a more recent focus on the role of ultrasound. In this article we discuss historical and current approaches to intussusception, with an emphasis on ultrasound as a diagnostic and therapeutic modality.

Keywords: Children; Fluoroscopy; Intussusception; Reduction; Technique; Ultrasound.
