Background:Intussusception is a condition in which one part of gut enters into another part of gut known as telescoping. Ultrasonography of abdomen is highly specific and sensitive for diagnosis. Most of the ileo-ileal and fewer ileo-colic intussusceptions may reduce spontaneously. Ultrasound guided reduction is an alternative to surgery. If intussusception is not treated timely it may cause intestinal ischemia, gangrene, perforation peritonitis, shock and death.
