Background: Air-contrast enema (ACE) is standard treatment for primary ileocolic intussusception. Management of recurrences is less clear. This study aimed to delineate appropriate therapy by quantifying the relationship between recurrence and need for bowel resection, pathologic lead points (PLP), and complication rates.
Methods: After IRB approval, a single institution review of patients with ileocolic intussusception from 1997 to 2013 was performed, noting recurrences, outcomes, and complications. Fisher's exact and t-tests were used.
Results: Of 716 intussusceptions, 666 were ileocecal. Forty-four underwent bowel resection, with 29 PLPs and 9 ischemia/perforation. Recurrence after ACE occurred in 96 (14%). Recurrence did not predict PLP (P=0.25). Recurrence (≥3) was associated with higher resection rate (P=0.03), but not ischemia/perforation (P=0.75). ACE-related complications occurred in 4 (0.5%) patients. Successful initial ACE had 98% negative predictive value for resection and PLP (e.g., after successful ACE, 2% had resections, 2% PLP). After failed initial ACE, 36% received resection, and 23% had PLP (P<0.001).
Conclusions: Recurrence is associated with a greater risk of resection but not PLP or ACE-complication. Failed ACE is associated with increased risk for harboring PLP and receiving resection. ACE should be the standard treatment in recurrent intussusception, regardless of number of recurrences.

Intussusception, a condition in which one part of the intestine telescopes into another, primarily affects children under 18 months of age. This case report details the radiologic findings in a six-year-old child with a long-standing history of recurrent ileocolic intussusception, who presented with abdominal pain and was diagnosed with intussusception-associated appendicitis. Following the fifth recurrence, the patient underwent laparoscopic reduction of the intussusception and appendectomy.

In children, 90% cases of intussusception are idiopathic and the remaining 10% are attributed to underlying diseases (most commonly due to Meckel's diverticulum, polyps then either duplication cyst or mesentery cysts, and rarely due to Burkitt's lymphoma). The occurrence of acute intestinal intussusception caused by Burkitt's lymphoma in children under the age of 5 is exceedingly rare. Burkitt's lymphoma presents with diverse clinical manifestations, often leading to the identification of an abdominal tumor in pediatric patients.

Article Synopsis
- - Intussusception in adults is rare, with ileocolic being the most common type and duodenal intussusception (DI) being the rarest; this study discusses five adult cases of DI, highlighting their presentation, diagnosis, and treatment.
- - The patients, primarily women aged 18-45, mainly presented with gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) and weight loss, all diagnosed via contrast-enhanced CT scans with benign polyps identified as lead points requiring surgical intervention.
- - Surgical treatment varied, with some patients receiving local excision and others undergoing more extensive procedures like pancreaticoduodenectomy; post-operative recovery was generally smooth, emphasizing the importance of anatomical knowledge for managing this complex condition.
Burkitt's lymphoma as a pathological lead point in pediatric intussusception: A case report.

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.
- It's important for doctors to consider underlying diseases like Burkitt's lymphoma in pediatric intussusception cases that don’t respond to standard treatments, as prompt surgical action greatly enhances survival chances.

Intussusception in adults is a rare condition, often associated with an underlying pathological lead point. This case report describes a case of intussusception in a 37-year-old female patient with an unusual lead point: an appendicular mucinous neoplasm. This case highlights the clinical presentation, diagnostic process, and management of adult intussusception caused by an appendicular neoplasm.
