Abstract

Retrospective study of ultrasound (US) appearance of intussusception was done in 15 patients with clinically suspected of intussusception, 12 pediatric and 3 adult patients. Intussusception was correctly diagnosed and correctly excluded by US in 12 and 3 patients respectively. Most common characteristic US findings are smooth, well defined round or oval mass with multiple concentric rings. Other signs included sandwich sign, donut sign, crescent-in-donut sign, Hayfork sign. Clinical signs and symptoms are often not typical, only 33% of our patients had classic triad. US is useful for screening and diagnosis of intussusception. Unnecessary invasive procedures for diagnosis or treatment could be avoided.
