title: Benefits of sonographic-guided hydrostatic reduction opposed to air reduction in a case of intussusception due to lymphoma.
abstract: A case of intussusception due to a pathological lead point in a child is presented. Such cases are uncommon in the paediatric age-group. The pathological lead point was missed at air enema reduction but it was clearly defined on sonographic-guided hydrostatic reduction. The advantages and disadvantages of these reduction methods are discussed.
