Barium enema in pediatric intussusception; a review of 108 cases.
A material of 108 patients with 125 intussusceptions was evaluated retrospectively. Barium enema is recommended as an excellent diagnostic tool. Reduction should be tried in all cases except those with signs of peritonitis, because the enema causes fewer complications and leads to a considerably decreased hospital stay.
