Symptoms of Intussusception | Dr. Umar Khan

🍼 INTUSSUSCEPTION: The Jam No One Ordered ⠀ 🚨 Currant jelly stool? Think telescoping intestines. 📍 Most common cause of intestinal obstruction in infants 👶 Crampy, colicky pain with episodes of relief 🎯 “Target sign” on ultrasound = pathognomonic 🛠️ First-line treatment: air or contrast enema ⠀ ⚠️ Don’t delay — bowel ischemia can sneak up fast 🩻 Get the ultrasound, call radiology, and skip the OR (if you’re lucky) ⠀ #drhavicandbrody #pediatrics #pedsrotation #intussusception #medicalstude
