Intussusception in an Infant Chronically Ingesting Marijuana Via Breastfeeding

<i><b>Background:</b></i> Use of marijuana and its derivatives has become increasingly common, without clear knowledge of health impacts. This uncertainty includes breastfeeding mothers and infants who may chronically ingest marijuana. <i><b>Case Presentation:</b></i> We present an infant with altered mental status initially thought to be the result of acute symptomatic exposure to tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). The infant subsequently developed classical symptoms of intussusception. <i><b>Conclusion:</b></i> This case raises the question of chronic THC exposure/ingestion in infants as a risk factor for intussusception. This association has been reported in adult populations, but not to date, in pediatric patients.
