title: Back pain as the only presenting symptom of intussusception: a case report.
abstract: Intussusception can often be a difficult diagnosis as many children do not present with the typical findings of abdominal pain, vomiting, and hematochezia. The authors report the case of a young child who presented with back pain as the only symptom of intussusception. We encourage pediatricians to consider this diagnosis in any child with episodes of intermittent abdominal or back pain.
