INTUSSUSCEPTION: ETIOLOGY, CLINICAL FEATURES, DIAGNOSIS, AND MANAGEMENT
Main Article Content
Abstract
Intussusception is a serious gastrointestinal condition in which a segment of the intestine telescopes into an adjacent segment, leading to intestinal obstruction and compromised blood supply. It is most commonly seen in infants and young children but can also occur in adults. Early diagnosis and prompt management are essential to prevent severe complications such as bowel ischemia, necrosis, and perforation.
