Summary:Intussusception has been one of the common causes of intestinal obstruction in infancy and early childhood period with a challenge in diagnosis in older children. It is the telescoping of a segment of bowel into another, commonly a proximal segment into a distal one.

However, in older children and adult, there is most often time an identifiable lead point that predisposes to the intussusception.
