	intussusception
		Intussusception is a rare but dangerous condition in young children, generally ages 3 months to 6 years - more often in the first couple of years of life.
		If early intussusception is suspected, a barium enema will usually be done to confirm it, and often cure it.
		There was an advisory issued on July 15, 1999 concerning a possible increased risk of intussusception in the first three weeks after administration of the Rotashield® rotavirus vaccine.

	Intussusception - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An intussusception is a situation in which a part of the intestine has prolapsed into another section of intestine, similar to the way in which the parts of a collapsible telescope slide into one another.
		Almost all intussusceptions occur with the intussusceptum having been located proximally to the intussuscipiens, however in certain, very rare cases the intussusceptum was originally distal to the intussuscipiens.
		Intussusception can be diagnosed by an x-ray of the abdomen, an ultrasound of the abdomen, or in the most critical cases the child may be taken to the operating room immediately to repair whatever is causing the problem, be it intussusception or some other problem.
