Abstract
Intestinal intussusception in a newborn is a casuistic rarity, the clinical symptoms of which are nonspecific, and patients are regarded for a relatively long time as patients with necrotic enterocolitis. There are no unambiguous radiological signs of this pathology, especially with atypical variants of intussusception, when even pneumoirrigography is uninformative. In the vast majority of cases, the diagnosis is made only intra-operatively, when the development of intestinal obstruction or perforated peritonitis determines the need for surgical intervention. The publication presents a unique observation of preoperative echographic diagnosis and successful cure of prolonged small-intestinal invagination in a premature newborn 2 days of life, the cause of which was Meckel’s diverticulum.
