title: Pitfalls in the diagnosis of intussusception.
abstract: Unusual sonographic behavior of intussusception is demonstrated in 4 cases. The results of 54 well-documented cases have shown two possible deviations from the normal sonographic pattern of an intussusception. The first was a highly reflective target sign, and the second a loss of regular sonographic structure in a tumor-like mass.
