Different management options for anaphylactoid purpura with intussusception: a case report.
Intussusception is the most common surgical indication of anaphylactoid purpura. About 50% of cases are of the ileo-ileal type. Surgical intervention, rather than radiologic reduction, is preferable for older children suffering from anaphylactoid purpura with intussusception, where a lead point lesion is often found. The authors report a case of anaphylactoid purpura with intussusception with spontaneous reduction, and postulate that subsequent to relieving bowel-wall edema using antihistamine and steroid therapy, the ileo-ileal intussusception may spontaneously reduce.
