“…The exact aetiology is still unknown and almost 81% of the cases are idiopathic. 3 Various conditions have been found to be associated with it. 4 Adenovirus infection 5 as well as vaccination against rota virus have been proposed to increase the risk of intussusception.…”

Intussusception is the invagination of a segment of the intestine into the lumen of the distal or proximal segment. It is one of the commonest causes of intestinal obstruction in the toddlers. Ileo-colic intussusception is the most common type. At times the inussusceptum may protrude through the anal canal and mimic a rectal prolapse. The diagnosis may be delayed in such cases leading to increase morbidity as well as mortality. Therefore, a high index of suspicion is required in such cases. In this case where a colo-colic intussusception presented like rectal prolapse. Emergency surgical reduction was carried out under general anaesthesia and the baby had a smooth recovery.

“…In addition, the barium enema shows a classic image of a "coiled spring" with obstacle to the contrast product at the level of the invagination and localization of the coecum. In 80 to 87% of Waugh Syndrome cases proven surgically the barium enema was abnormal (Singh, A. P. et al, 2015). The abnormal rotation has a variety of clinical presentations, ranging from abdominal pain to acute midgut volvulus with ischemic bowel injury.…”

The author reports a case of Waugh syndrome in an 8-monthold baby boy. Although Waugh's Syndrome is rare, most of thedocumented cases are in children. Waugh syndrome, first described in 1991 by Georges Waugh, is an intussusception associated with abnormal bowel rotation (Behera, C. R., & Mohanty, S. K. 2014; & Henderson, A. A. et al., 2013). Less than 100 cases have been described so far worldwide. Intussusception is one of the most common causes of bowel obstruction in pediatrics. Although this intussusception is idiopathic in 81% of cases, it can sometimes be secondary to various etiologies such as Meckel's diverticulum, congenital bridles, gastroenteritis, polyposis and intestinal lymphomas. The authors discuss treatment options and discussthe probability of Waugh's Syndrome during any intussusception in children (Behera, C. R., & Mohanty, S. K. 2014).

“…Intussusception is one of the common causes of intestinal obstruction in pediatric population and is mostly (81%) idiopathic. 1 Secondary intussusception occurs due to a variety of etiological factors such as Meckel's diverticulum, hypertrophied Peyer's patches, congenital bands, and intestinal lymphomas. 1 The rare association of intestinal malrotation in conjunction with intussusception was first described by George E Waugh in 1911.…”

Waugh's syndrome (WS) is the rare association of intussusception and intestinal malrotation. We present two such cases in a 5-month-old infant and a 9-year-old girl. Both patients presented with intussusception and were diagnosed with malrotation during workup and surgical exploration. We conclude that the possibility of intestinal malrotation must be taken into consideration while managing children with intussusception.
