Lee, Kim, Hwang, Kim, Lee, Kwon, Lee, and Park: A Case of Ileao-ileal Intrauterine Intussusception in a Preterm Neonate

Abstract

Intussusception in a preterm neonate is a very rare disorder. We experienced a case of intrauterine intussusception presented with symptoms of the small bowel obstruction in a preterm infant whose gestational age was 28+2 weeks. Urgent ultrasonography of abdomen revealed no definite intussuscepted segment. At emergent surgery performed on the 11th days of life under the diagnosis of distal small bowel obstruction, an ileo-ileal intussusception with distal ileal atresia without perforation was found.
