The pseudokidney of intussusception is an ultrasound finding in some cases of intestinal intussusception. It refers to the longitudinal ultrasound appearance of the intussuscepted segment of bowel which mimics a kidney.
The fat containing mesentery which is dragged into the intussusception, containing vessels, is reminiscent of the renal hilum, with the renal parenchyma formed by the oedematous bowel.
