title: [Intussusception. The clinical picture and a retrospective study in 34 patients at the Emma Pediatric Hospital].
abstract: Intussusception is a serious condition. It is necessary to establish the diagnosis as soon as possible. This is of importance for the kind of therapy. We confirmed this statement by studying retrospectively 34 patients in the Emma Kinderziekenhuis in Amsterdam. There are two well known forms of therapy: hydrostatic reduction and surgery. Besides we like to pay attention to the method of air-pressure enema reduction which has been used in China for over 23 years.
