Cir. cir. [online]. 2020, vol.88, n.1, pp.88-90. Epub 22-Nov-2021. ISSN 2444-054X. https://doi.org/10.24875/ciru.19000642.
Background:
Postoperative intussusception is an unusual complication in children; the incidence is 0.01-0.25%.
Clinical Case:
Female of 11 months who underwent colostomy, 48 h later presents abdominal pain, vomiting gastrobiliar and abdominal distension. A laparotomy was performed, finding a double ileo-ileal invagination 60 cm from the ileocecal valve.
Discussion:
The postoperative intestinal invaginations are extremely rare and most of them occur within the first 7 days. The etiology of postoperative intussusception is unknown.
Conclusions:
Postoperative children with intestinal occlusion, intussusception should be suspected and an immediate laparotomy should be performed.
