Abstract

Multiple simultaneous intussusception is a peculiar variety of intussusception. The condition is reported in older children and adults. The occurrence in neonates is an interesting situation. We present one such neonate who had a simultaneous ileo-colic and ileo-ileal intussusception without any specific cause. A review of existing literature revealed only three neonates. The terminology and various aspects of the condition are discussed.
