[Intestinal intussusception in a newborn (author's transl)]. / Invaginación intestinal en el recién nacido. Descripción de un caso diagnosticado radiológicamente.

A case of intestinal intussusception (I.I.) is described in a newborn and 42 cases in the literature revised. I.I. is not a frequent entity in the neonate and has special clinical and radiological characteristics. Symptomatology of patients is unspecific and makes diagnosis difficult. The elevated incidence of necrosis and intestinal perforation, possibly related with the delay with which diagnosis is effected, is without doubt the determing factor in the high incidence of mortality in these patients. The finding of a conditioning organic lesion is much more frequent in the neonatal period than later ages.
