Abstract
Originally described over 300 years ago, the clinical scenario of intussusception remains incompletely understood. Intussusception is now one of the conditions that can be, most of the time, preoperatively diagnosed and treated with success. This article reviews the literature regarding this pathological state of the abdomen and discusses what is known regarding the presentation, diagnosis, embryology, and anatomy of intussusception.Mesh:
