Intussusception is one of the most common abdominal emergencies in infants and young children. The primary treatment for ileocolic

intussusception is image-guided hydrostatic or pneumatic reduction with 90 % of success. The reccurrence rate following successful

enema reduction is 10 %. The majority of recurrent intussusceptions are idiopatic and patologic lead points are found in only 8 %. Initial

management of recurrent intussusception should be nonoperative.

Keywords: intussusception, recurrence, hydrostatic enema reduction
