“…In premature infants, it is suggested that common perinatal risk factors resulting in intestinal hypoperfusion/hypoxia, dysmotility, and stricture formation may act as a lead point for intussusception [3]. In premature neonates, lead point has been found to be about 8% [15]. Inspissated meconium has also been found to be causing intussusception [14].…”

“…Unless the initial presentation of NEC is pneumoperitoneum, the initial management is conservative. The delay in making a diagnosis of intussusception in neonates is considerable with a mean of 10-19 days [15,19]. This delay in diagnosis leads to compromised bowel and further complications [24].…”

“…If obstruction is complete, abdominal distention is frequently present. Contrary to this, neonatal intussusception presents with features mimicking NEC like abdominal distension, feeding intolerance, vomiting, and bloody stools [1,15,23,25]. In full term neonates, ileocolic intussusception is the most common type [3].…”

Intussusception is defined as a process in which a segment of bowel invaginates into the adjoining intestinal lumen, causing bowel obstruction. It is the most common cause of intestinal obstruction in infants and children between 6 months to 18 months of age. In neonates and premature infants, it accounts for only 3% of intestinal obstruction and 0.3% (0-2.7%) of all cases of intussusception Since neonatal intussusception is an uncommon entity, we conducted this review to examine its occurrence, clinical features, diagnostic modalities, and treatment options.

“…Intussusception is well-recognised in young children; however this condition is very rare in newborns [1]. Neonatal intussusception is usually caused by several conditions including Meckel's diverticulum, intestinal polyps and intestinal duplication [1].…”

“…Neonatal intussusception is usually caused by several conditions including Meckel's diverticulum, intestinal polyps and intestinal duplication [1]. Meckel's diverticulum can present at any age group; however rarely, a symptomatic Meckel's diverticulum may present in neonates [2].…”
