Adenovirus-associated intussusception in a child

Heidi Reinhard, Gary S. Rose, Vanessa Ladd, Samir B. Kahwash

Abstract

Intestinal intussusception is one of the most common causes of acute abdominal emergencies in children under 2 years of age. We herein describe a case of adenovirus associated small intestinal intussusception in a 5-month-old boy. A brief review on triggers of intussusception in children is provided. Thorough gross and microscopic inspections of resected intussusception specimens are recommended to diagnose subtle predisposing triggers such as viral infections.
