title: [Value of ultrasonics in the diagnosis of acute intestinal invagination in infants and children. Apropos of a series of 60 cases].
abstract: Sixty cases hospitalized between May and October 1985 for suspicion of acute intestinal intussusception in whom emergency ultrasonography was performed are reported. The diagnostic reliability of this non-invasive technique reduces the indication for performing barium enemas to treatment only.
