“…All cases of intussusception were correctly picked up by the radiological investigations basically ultrasound which was same when compared with the findings of Dinkel et al [6] and Swischuk et al [7] who also stated that USG was the best investigation in diagnosing intussusception. All cases of choledochal cyst were correctly picked up by USG which were also confirmed by magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography [ Figure 3] and was correlating to the findings of Rattan et al [8] where ultrasound was diagnostic in 92.55 cases.…”

“…Recently, ultrasonography has come into frequent use for the diagnosis of intussusception, because it is a simple, clean (no messes on the table), rapid and non-invasive approach in comparison with barium enema study (2,3,20,21). Sonographie findings of intussusception are basically composed of a large sonolucent target, bull's eye or doughnut sign on the transverse (cross) section, and a sleeve or pseudokidney sign on the longitudinal section (Figs.…”

Air Reduction for Intussusception in Infancy and Childhood:Ultrasonographic Diagnosis and Management Without X-Ray Exposure

et al. 1990

For the treatment of uncomplicated intussusception in infants and children, we attempted air reduction without x-ray study to avoid the genetic and carcinogenic effects of radiation. Intussusception could generally be diagnosed by ultrasonography in addition to the history and typical clinical signs without using a barium enema. The success of reduction could also be safely evaluated from the disappearance of both the characteristic sonographic target sign and the abdominal palpable mass, and improvement in the general condition 2 or 3 hours after completing this procedure. This simple, cheap and clean reduction method was applied to 127 patients under strict indications and sedation with diazepam. The successful reduction rate was high (90.6%) and equal to that by hydrostatic reduction. Accordingly, this procedure appears to be safely applicable to the management of uncomplicated intussusception in infancy and childhood.

“…We feel, like others, that ultrasonography is a reliable, quick and noninvasive method to confirm or exclude intussusception, and should be the first line of investigation, especially in those with atypical clinical presentation. 14,15 Intussusception in the majority of children between the fifth and ninth month of life is said to be idiopathic, i.e., unrelated to any pre-existing anatomical abnormality. 1 This type of intussusception accounts for 90%-95% of the total number of childhood intussusceptions, and although some of these patients have an anatomical lead point, the majority have idiopathic intussusception.…”
