Small bowel intussusception with pelvic plastron secondary to acute appendicitis in child

J Pediatr Surg. 2010 Mar;45(3):E5-7. doi: 10.1016/j.jpedsurg.2009.12.010.

Abstract

We report an unusual case of a 3-year-old child with appendicitis complicated by ileoileal intussusception. Although acute complicated appendicitis and concurrent ileoileal intussusception represent a possible cause of an acute abdomen, very few cases have been reported in the literature.
