AB Intussusception  is  the  most  common  cause  of  intestinal  obstruction  in  children  less  than  3  years  of  age.Pneumatic  or  hydrostatic  contrast  medium  enema  are  the  procedures  of  choice  for  its  reduction.Although  the  diagnosis  is  typically  made  with  ultrasound,  the  emergency  physician  can  proceed  directly  to  the  enema  in  clinically  obvious  cases.The  child  can  be  discharged  home  from  the  emergency  department  following  reduction  of  the  intussusception  after  a  short  period  of  observation.
