Intussusception in Johannesburg. A review of 81 cases.
The difference in presentation between two different social groups of children with intussusception was investigated. The sex ratio of the two groups was different. The underprivileged children presented later in the disease and consequently required bowel resection more frequently. The introduction of intravenously administered ketamine increased the barium reduction rate significantly.
