Fluoroscopic guided reduction of colo-coloniccolocolonic intussusception
Age changed from 1 to 1 years.
Body was changed:

Intussusception is a mechanical telescoping of bowel segment into other. The most common site is at ileocecal junction, the second most common site is colo-coloniccolocolonic. Some timesSometimes enlarged lymphoid tissues is the underlying cause of this pathology which was detected in previouson a  previous ultrasound that is not available at the time of the study.

Immediate reduction by fluoroscopic guided enema using air or contrast will cause immediate relief and reduction of the telescoping. Air enema is considered more safer than barium enema, we used omnipaqueOmnipaqueTM 300 50/50 mixed with saline during this study.
