Subacute and chronic intussusception in infants and children.

چکیده
Most writers on the subject claim that chronic intussusception is rare in childhood. Thus Still (1921) stated that in children it occurs 'rarely indeed'; Monrad (1927) wrote: 'Chronic invaginations in my experience are extremely rare in small children'; Beaven (1929) noted that 'judging from the number of cases reported, chronic intussusception is an extremely rare disease in children'; and Nyborg (1943) stated that the condition 'is very rare in young children'. We have recently encountered two cases in infants within a short period and, as a result of our scrutiny of hospital records and of the literature, we do not think that this emphasis on rarity is justified.
