title: Painless intussusception. Giving conservative treatment another chance.
abstract: Treatment options for intussusception in children range from reduction by barium enema to surgical intervention. The authors describe a case in which a conservative option--a fifth attempt to reduce an ileocolic intussusception by barium enema, this time using general anesthesia--successfully resolved the problem.
