Authors: Najia Alhojaili, IBRAHEM Kotbi, Attia Al Zahrani, Laila Alabasi, Jumana Masen Derar.
Abstract
Intussusception is a medical and surgical condition in which a part of the intestine folds into the section immediately ahead of it [1]. It typically involves the small bowel and less commonly the large bowel [1].
The causes of inter-suspension in the neonates may be duo to sepsis, intestinal polyps. The recurrence rate is very high and family history in siblings is important.
