The retrospective study reviewed 114 patients under 5 year old, hospitalized for intussusception (IS) over 3 years period (2000-2002) in General Hospital of Khanh Hoa province. The number of cases vary between 29 to 48 annually. Boy to girl ratio was 2:1. 64% of cases were children under 1 year old. The peak of IS was observed between 4 to 9 month old and had no difference in seasonal prevalence. Most common symptoms were abdominal pain, vomiting and abdominal mass. 88% of cases were diagnosed by ultrasound, 12% were confirmed by clinical diagnosis. Majority of cases was cured by radiological reduction. 5 cases must operated after failure of radiological reduction. No fatal case was reported

Retrograde jejuno-gastric intussusception is an unusual complication after gastroenterostomy. It is very difficult to diagnosis this illness before endoscopy or operation, so a high clinical suspicion is needed to make the diagnosis .There have been only 300 reported cases of this illness. There are four types of jejuno-gastric intussusception that are defined anatomically. Intussusception of the efferent limb of the jejunum is the most frequent type. Although the causative factors are not well known, this disease has a poor outcome unless it's treats promptly within 48 hours. We report here a case of hematemesis caused by intussusceptum from the efferent limb to the afferent limb of Braun anastomosis.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the usefulness of CT features of appendiceal mucocele in the diagnosis and evaluation of complications. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed CT findings and compared with operative findings in 7 cases of pathologically proven appendiceal mucocele. CT findings such as location and extent of the lesion, Issue density, thickness or calcification of the wall, presence of adjacent inflammatory infiltration, and visualization of normal vermiform appendix were analyzed. RESULTS: Appendiceal mucocele was found as homogeneous low density cystic mass adjacent to the cecum, which has no surrounding inflammatory infiltration except in one case of perforation and one case of intussusception. Mean CT number measured in 4 cases was 21 Hounsfield unit. Thin curvilinear calcifications were noted along the cystic wall in 2 cases. Normal vermiform appendix couldn't be demonstrated in all cases. CONCLUSION: Appendiceal mucocele is characterized by homogeneously low density and thin walled cystic tumor adjacent to cecum without surrounding inflammatory infiltration, and absence of normal vermiform appendix on CT. Therefore, CT is valuable in preventing operative complications of appendiceal mucocele.

One fullterm infant whose clinical feature initially was that of necrotizing enterocolitis eventually developed intussusception. The symptomatology of these two conditions is strikingly similar, and when they coexist, recognition of a complicating intussusception is difficult. The pathogenic relationship between necrotizing enterocolitis and intussusception remains obscure. When a presumptive diagnosis of necrotizing enterocolitis is made but the infant's clinical course varies from that expected, other diagnoses, such as intussusception, must be considered.

Intussusception in Schoenlein-Henoch Vasculitis is of interest because of its rarity & the importance of making what may be a difficult diagnosis. We recently experienced one case of Intussusception in Schoenlein-Henoch Vasculitis, who was a 3 year-old girl treated with mannual reduction following surgical operation & we reviewed some literature.

1. The plain abdominal films of 246 cases of intussusception preceding hydrostatic barium enema were analysedin order to reassess the diagnostic reliability of the abdominal plain film examination. Then, these were comparedwith 42 cases in which the diagnosis had been rejected by means of barium enema. 2. It was found that diagnosis ofthe intussusception was possible in 80% of 246 cases on the basis of plain film findings alone. 3. The most commonand reliable findings of intussusception in plain film diagnosis are those of sparse faecoloid bowel content andsparse amount of intestinal gas. 4. The loops of distended small bowel in cecal or ascending colon area andintraabdominal soft tissue mass are considered to be relatively reliable findings. 5. In 42 cases in which thediagnosis had been rejected by means of barium enema, intussusception was excluded in 745 of the cases on thebasis of plain film findings alone.

Intussusception of the appendix is an uncommon condition and the diagnosis is rarely made preoperatively. Intussusception of the appendix may mimic a neoplastic lesion. Colonoscopy is a valuable tool for diagnosis of the appendiceal intussusception. A 17-yr-old female admitted with repeated abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and febrile sensation. We diagnosed as appendiceal intussusception by colonoscopy, which showed a polypoid tumor (about 1.5 cm) in the cecum. This sessile polypoid mass looks like foreskin or glans. We present colonoscopic finding of appendiceal intussusception and review the literature.
