Abstract:
Intussusception in premature infants is very rare. Here, we report a case of multiple intussusceptions in an extremely preterm infant, born at 23+1 weeks gestation, who underwent an explolaparotomy, for bowel perforation and misdiagnosed necrotizing enterocolitis, at 20 days of life. To our knowledge, this is the most prematurely born baby that has survived with multiple intussusceptions.
