Abstract
A pediatric heart recipient presented with intermittent abdominal pain. Workup revealed intussusception with associated pneumatosis. A right hemicolectomy was performed. Pathologic examination revealed cytomegalovirus (CMV) colitis. This is the first case of CMV-colitis associated with intussusception in a pediatric transplant patient. We present the findings and review of the literature.
