Article Synopsis
- Intussusception, a bowel obstruction in kids, can sometimes result from serious conditions like Burkitt's lymphoma, as illustrated in a case involving a 14-year-old boy who underwent surgery for ileocolic intussusception.
- The patient initially experienced abdominal pain, and imaging revealed a mass in the intestine leading to surgical intervention, which confirmed the presence of Burkitt's lymphoma.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFIleocecal intussusception (ICI) is the most common abdominal emergency and cause of intestinal obstruction in young children, carrying a high risk of mortality and morbidity. Enteric viral infectious and inflammatory syndromes are known triggers for intussusception (ileoileal and ileocolic) by causing mesenteric lymphoid hyperplasia that may act as a leading point allowing the bowel to invaginate into itself. Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms are common in children with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection, with a subset of patients solely having GI complaints at the time of presentation.
