Typhoid fever is a severe febrile illness caused by Salmonella typhi. Although ileal perforation and bleeding are seen more frequently, intestinal intussusception is a very rare complication of typhoid fever. A male patient was admitted to hospital due to abdominal distension and pain. Abdominal
Intussusception is a common cause of small bowel obstruction in infancy and early childhood. As in other forms of intestinal obstruction, there is stagnation of enteral content and edema of the bowel wall, theoretically facilitating translocation of bacteria. Since 1987, 85 cases of intussusception
BACKGROUND
Intussusception is the most common cause of intestinal obstruction in young children, and delayed diagnosis may lead to bowel perforation. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of fever in patients with ileocolic intussusception and to determine its utility as a
BACKGROUND
Intussusception is the most common cause of infant bowel obstruction. Because delays in diagnosis can lead to severe outcomes, differentiating milder cases from those with potentially serious outcomes is important.
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this study was to identify factors associated
In some settings, rotavirus vaccines have been associated with a low-level risk of intussusception, the most common cause of bowel obstruction in infants. As Vietnam prepares to introduce rotavirus vaccine into the national immunization program, we sought to better characterize the epidemiology of
Some cases of suppurative mesenteric adenitis have already been described in the literature but not associated with intussusception. We describe the case of a 3-year-old boy presenting to the department of surgery at the University Hospital of Lubumbashi with bowel obstruction. He was visited
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the safety and effectiveness of ultrasound-guided saline enema to treat intussusception and to analyze the risk factors affecting short-term recurrence and reduction failure.
METHODS
We selected patients who had undergone intussusception reduction via ultrasound-guided
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this work is to consider the mechanical complications of jejunoileal bypass for morbid obesity which can have a serious outcome because of the occult nature of the symptoms.
METHODS
The mechanical complications of jejunoileal bypass are mainly intussusception of the bypassed
