Intussusception is a very common cause of childhood bowel obstruction. Two thirds of cases of Intussusception occurs
before a child’s first birthday, usually around 5 month of age. It is unlikely that this type of obstruction will occur after 36 months age, though not impossible. Boys are 4 times more likely to suffer from Intussusception than girls.
Intussusception occurs when the intestines pull inward into itself – the way a telescope or radio antenna does when folded up. This creates a complete, mechanical obstruction of the bowels. Blood-flow to the intestines becomes interrupted and when left untreated, the intestines will start to die. Intussusception is a emergency situation that needs immediate medical care.
The causes of Intussusception is not always clear. It is suspected that enlarged lymph nodes, polyps (growths) or tumors can cause this type of obstruction. Viral infections also seem to play a role.
Straightforward and well written, thanks for the info
