“…Of these the occurrence of jejunal intussusception and that too in neonates have been rarely reported. 7 Classically intussusception in young infants is said to be initiated by hypertrophy of Peyer's patches in distal ileum in young infants. 8 In full term neonatewith intussusception, a lead point is present in approximatelyas high as 58% of patients, such as duplication cyst, hamartoma, Meckel's diverticulum, or mesenchymoma.…”

Neonatal intussusception is rare entity.We report this very rare case of a term male newborn, with acute jejunojejunal intussusception without any lead point. He presented with abdominal distension and signs of intestinal obstruction and abdominal sonography showed a jejunojejunal intussusceptionswhich was confirmed at laparotomy. Interestingly, no lead point was found. Rather 8cm of bowel distal to intussuscepted segment was found to be gangrenous bowel. Resection with Bishop Koop anastomosis done for the baby resulted in good outcome. The case is being presented for rare presentation of a rare surgical condition in a neonate with an endeavour to establish etiology for its occurrence.

The etiology of this condition is still unknown.…”

However, in younger infants it may present with non-classical symptoms such as listlessness, decreased feeding, and being non-specifically unwell. A Case of intussusception confirmed with the help of an abdominal ultrasound in 5 month old male infant who presented with irritable cry, spasmodic pain, and not taking feeds properly. The purpose of presenting this paper is to suggest a clinical diagnosis of intussusception, and to bring about the awareness of intussusception common in weaning period of very young infants and the latest treatment available which was so simple procedure without any complication and surgery.
