Intussusception as Rare Presenting Sign of Pediatric Celiac Disease

Abstract: Intussusception is the most common cause of gastrointestinal obstruction in children and typically presents with acute abdominal pain. Intussusception usually occurs in children under the age of 3 in the ileocecal region. Over the past 5 years, multiple patients at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia have been diagnosed with both intussusception and biopsy-confirmed celiac disease (CD). Intussusception may be a presenting sign of pediatric CD and should raise clinical suspicion for celiac screening, especi… Show more

“…Among these, we highlight intestinal intussusception. Although its clear frequency could not yet be established, the association between the two pathologies is certified by numerous reported cases (151)(152)(153)(154). It is noted that the risk factors associated with this are age and low weight, diarrhea at presentation, abdominal distension, rickets, low serum albumin, severe villous atrophy and refeeding syndrome (155,156).…”

“…[1][2][3] The most common type is ileocecal junction intussusception. 4,5 Most cases are primary intussusception, which can easily recur and result in intestinal obstruction or necrosis. 6 In clinical practice, the main treatment methods are pneumatic reduction under X-ray fluoroscopy and water enema under ultrasound guidance.…”
