Acute colocolic intussusception: A rare pediatric presentation

Colocolic intussusception, a rare but significant condition in pediatric patients, involves the invagination of a segment of the colon into an adjacent segment. This phenomenon can result in various complications, such as bowel obstruction and ischemia, highlighting the importance of prompt diagnosis and intervention. Radiology plays a pivotal role in the identification and management of this condition, employing various imaging modalities to visualize the characteristic features of intussusception, ultrasound is the preferred imaging method due to its high specificity and sensitivity. We report the case of a 9-month-old male infant with colocolic intussusception involving the descending colon and sigmoid with no pathological lead point, which led to ischemia and necrosis, necessitating resection of the necrotic segments and anastomosis.
