Intussusception is one of the most common cause of bowel obstruction in infant under the two years old, especially in male. Clinical analysis was enrolled on 54 intussusception cases who were diagnosed by ultrasound and treated by non-operative reduction at the Presbyterian Medical Center from June 2005 to May 2007. The results were as follow. 1) There was the most common(40.7%)between thirteen and twenty four months on the distribution of age. Male(72.2%) and female(27.8%) were in the ratio of 2.6:1 on the distribution of gender 2) The frequent symptoms were abdominal pain with grizzle(100.0%), vomitting(66.7%) and diarrhea(33.3%). There was a significant difference among them( p<0.05). There was the most common(46.3%) between 10,000/ and 15,000/ ㎣ ㎣ in the result of WBC. 3) 42.6% of patient at a private hospital performed primary care. The treatment after initiating the symptom of intussusceeption was performed between 6 hrs and 12hrs (37.0%). 4) The most common type and portion of intussusception were ileo-colon(98.1%) and hepatic flexure (68.5%). 5) 88.0% at air reduction and 86.2% at barium reduction were successful. The reduction rate were similar to both techniques. There was no significant difference between them( p>0.05).
