There are very few reports and limited evidence that premedication with steroids decreases early recurrence of ileocolic intussusception after a successful hydrostatic reduction. The purpose of this study was to examine the role of steroids in decreasing early recurrence of idiopathic intussusceptions. A retrospective review of children that underwent successful hydrostatic reduction was conducted. Two groups were identified: group 1 (38 cases) that received intravenous methylprednisolone (1 mg/kg/dose) on diagnosis or immediately after the reduction maneuver, and group 2 (59 cases) were not given. There were 60 boys and 37 girls ranging in age from 6 to 84 months. There were no statistical differences between the groups regarding age, sex, duration of symptoms and laboratory findings on admission. There was no significant difference (p=0.76) in the rate of early recurrent intussusception between the steroid group (15.8%, 6/38) and the non-steroid group (13.6%, 8/59). We found that premedication of children with idiopathic intussusception with methylprednisolone did not decrease early recurrence of idiopathic intussusceptions.
