Abstract
|
|
|
|
Intussusception is a common surgical disorder in infancy. Intussusception in preterm infant is very rare and about 40 cases have been reported. Furthermore, double intussusception is extremely rare in children and there seems to be no such a case reported in preterm infant. We report a case of idiopathic double intussusception in the preterm infant, who was born at 25 weeks’ gestation, underwent an explolaparotomy for bowel perforation on 39 days of life, and during the operation, an ileo-ileo-colic intussusception was found without a leading point.
