CASE REPORT OF POSTOPERATIVE DOUBLE INTUSSUSCEPTION

Intussusception is a common pediatric surgical emergency but rarely seen post operatively as a cause of mechanical bowel obstruction in children. We have to consider this diagnosis in the pediatric age group. POI is a uncommon cause of post operative mechanical bowel obstruction in children.POI constitutes 1 percent of all intussusception and 5-10 percent of post operative mechanical bowel obstruction.POI is suspected in cases of prolonged and copious bilious aspirate.DI is rare.PODI has not been reported so far.Here I am reporting a case of DI seen in the post operative period of a child operated for choledochal cyst with review of literature.
