Abstract

Intussusception is a condition consisting of a proximal portion of the bowel contracting into a more distal bowel portion. The recurring act of intussusception is typically caused by a pathological lead point persisting within the bowel. The most common lead point for intussusception is a Meckel's diverticulum, which arises due to the incomplete obliteration of the omphalomesenteric canal causing a true diverticulum in the small bowel. This report outlines a case of a 10-month-old male infant who experienced three intussusception episodes, eventually requiring surgical intervention. A clinician's awareness of this phenomenon aids in implementing adequate treatment.
