Abstract:
Intussusception is the invagination of a segment of the intestine into the lumen of the distal or proximal segment. It is one
of the commonest causes of intestinal obstruction in the toddlers. Ileo-colic intussusception is the most common type. At
times the inussusceptum may protrude through the anal canal and mimic a rectal prolapse. The diagnosis may be delayed
in such cases leading to increase morbidity as well as mortality. Therefore, a high index of suspicion is required in such
cases. In this case where a colo-colic intussusception presented like rectal prolapse. Emergency surgical reduction was
carried out under general anaesthesia and the baby had a smooth recovery
