[Reduction of acute intestinal intussusception: when and how?].
After sonographic diagnosis, non-surgical therapy for intussusception in children uses pneumatic or hydrostatic (barium or water soluble) reduction. The purpose of this paper, in the light of our experience, is to answer the questions raised by general radiologists in emergency activity about the technique, indications, sedation and risks.
