| | Intussusception - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | An intussusception is a situation in which a part of the intestine has prolapsed into another section of intestine, similar to the way in which the parts of a collapsible telescope slide into one another. | | | In children too young to communicate their symptoms verbally, they may cry, draw their knees up to their chest or experience dyspnea. | | | Fast treatment is a necessity, because the longer the intestine segment is prolapsed the longer it goes without bloodflow, and the less effective a non-surgical reduction will be. |

| | Intussusception |
| | Intussusception is a condition that develops when one part of the intestine folds into itself, like a telescope. | | | A child with intussusception may have recurring episodes of severe abdominal pain and may scream and draw up his or her knees from severe cramping. | | | However, in children who have other diseases that involve their intestines, intussusception may develop into a more serious problem that requires surgical removal of the affected section of the intestine. |

| | Intussusception recurs in up to 5% to 10% of the cases reduced by contrast enema and about 1 to 5% of those reduced by surgery, though most recurrences are late recurrences (after the patient has been discharged). | | | If the intussusception is not reduced by an enema, or if there is intestinal perforation, shock, or peritonitis present, the patient is sent for surgical reduction. | | | Several factors are associated with a contrast enema being unsuccessful in reducing the intussusception. |

| | Intussusception |
| | Children with an intussusception have intense abdominal pain, which often begins so suddenly that it causes loud, anguished crying and causes the child to draw the knees up to the chest. | | | As the pain subsides, a child with an intussusception may stop crying and seem fine. | | | Justin cried loudly and drew his tiny legs up to his chest as his bewildered parents tried to soothe him. |

| | Intussusception |
| | Intussusception occurs when part of the bowel or intestine is wrapped around itself producing a mass-like object on the right side of the abdomen during palpation (a procedure used during a physical examination, when the examiner touches the abdomen with his/her hand, usually feeling for mass, pain, or discomfort). | | | Intussusception is the enfolding of one segment of the intestine within another. | | | Blood chemistry analysis is not specific for intussusception. |

| | Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate age, sex, breed, utility group (beef or dairy), and season as risk factors for the development of intussusception in cattle, to evaluate clinical and laboratory findings, surgical management, and postoperative outcome of affected cattle, and to identify factors of prognostic value. | | | Although controversy surrounds the optimal surgical approach for correction of intussusception in cattle, we recommend initially attempting surgical correction by a right paralumbar laparotomy with the cow restrained in a standing position. | | | Because the true survival rate for cattle with intussusception is suspected to be less than that determined from reports published elsewhere, an accurate assessment of outcome would be valuable. |

| | Although manometry was not performed before the development of the intussusception, our findings are consistent with the hypothesis that altered intestinal motility may contribute to the development of intussusception. | | | It should be noted that, if intestinal obstruction develops in a patient who had received this procedure for choledochal cyst, retrograde intussusception, although very rare, should be considered in addition to adhesion ileus. | | | Signs and symptoms of small bowel obstruction were seen in both of these patients, but the responsible pathology was unusual. |
