title: [Acute intestinal intussusception in infants and children and abdominal ultrasonography].
abstract: Ultrasound imaging findings of the invaginated bud are described in 60 young children referred with a suspected acute intestinal intussusception over a period of 5 months. An initial group of 28 children were examined by ultrasonography and a barium enema for diagnostic and possible therapeutic purposes. The second series of 32 children were a therapeutic enema only when ultrasound images provided a positive diagnosis. The method is considered to be a reliable one requiring less medication, and has the principal advantage of suppression of the need for diagnostic barium enema.
