Intussusception - what does this mean
Intussusception is a condition where one part of the intestine slides into the next, like a telescope. it is most commonly seen in children and is caused by a blockage of the intestine, which leads to swelling and twisting of the intestine, resulting in an obstruction.
What happens during the disease - intussusception
Intussusception is a condition in which a portion of the intestine slides into an adjacent part of the intestine, forming a telescoping structure. this can cause a blockage in the intestine, leading to abdominal pain, vomiting, and bloody stools. in some cases, the intussusception can cause a tear in the intestine which can lead to infection, dehydration, and shock. treatment typically involves manual reduction of the intussusception followed by surgical resection of the affected area.
