“…A multi-institutional retrospective study of intussusception by Banapour et al [11] suggested that Increasing age is associated with a higher likelihood of finding a pathological lead point such as reckless diverticulum, lymphoid hyperplasia, inspissated appendicular mass, etc., but in our cases, we did not find any leading point as a cause for intussusception. Mappiwali et al [12] in their case report found the cecal diverticulum as a lead point for intussusception, and they performed wedge resection of the diverticulum, but in our case, no such findings were found.…”

Intussusception is a major cause of acute intestinal obstruction in children. Idiopathic intussusception occurs predominantly under the age of 3 and is rare after the age of 6 years. This paper reports three cases of infant intussusception, including one Ileo-ceaco-colic intussusception in an 8-month-old baby boy (an uncommon condition in small infants) treated at the peripheral hospital during deployment in remote settings. This case series highlights diverse signs and symptoms of intussusception, and very few cases present with a typical triad of intussusception (abdominal pain, vomiting, and red currant jelly stool). Strong clinical suspicion is required for the diagnosis of intussusception, especially in a remote peripheral setting where diagnostic facilities are scarce. Furthermore, the surgeon should be ready for a surprise challenge after opening Pandora’s box. Delay in diagnosis may result in complications such as perforation, necrosis, and death. An important lesson learned from these three different cases is that the postoperative behavior of surgically reduced intussusception differs from case by case, and we have to be careful and alert during the postoperative period.

“…A series from Vietnam reported that 100% of their patients with intussusception had abdominal pain [20]. However, there are reports of painless intussusception in children [21]. A painless intussusception is defined as intussusception in which the child does not have colicky abdominal pain, does not cry and does not show any outward appearance of discomfort with the intussusception [22].…”

Background: The incidence of intussusception may vary from one season to another and from one country to another. The aim of this study was to evaluate the seasonality of childhood intussusception. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective study of infants, aged one year and below, who presented with intussusception (ultrasound confirmed) between January 2016 and December 2020 at the pediatric surgery unit of Enugu State University Teaching Hospital (ESUTH) Enugu, Nigeria. Results: A total of 378 cases of intussusception in infants were seen during the study period. There were 236 (62.4%) and 142 (37.6%) females. The median age of the patients was 6 months with a range of 3 to 12 months. Abdominal pain was the most common presenting symptom and most of the intussusceptions occurred during the dry season. Majority of the patients had operative treatment and surgical site infection was the most common postoperative complication. The overall outcome was good. However, 34 (9%) infants expired. Conclusion: Although intussusception can occur at any time of the year, this study has shown that more cases of intussusception are seen during the dry season in our centre. This spans over a period of October to March.
