CASE REPORT OF POSTOPERATIVE DOUBLE INTUSSUSCEPTION

Abstract

Intussusception is a common pediatric
surgical emergency but rarely seen post
operatively as a cause of mechanical
bowel obstruction in children. We have to
consider this diagnosis in the pediatric
age group. POI is a uncommon cause of
post operative mechanical bowel obstruction
in children.POI constitutes 1
percent of all intussusception and 5-10
percent of post operative mechanical
bowel obstruction.POI is suspected in
cases of prolonged and copious bilious
aspirate.DI is rare.PODI has not been
reported so far.Here I am reporting a
case of DI seen in the post operative period
of a child operated for choledochal
cyst with review of literature.
