Multiple Intussusceptions with multiple polyps as identifiable lead point: A curious case report.

Intussusception is a condition in which the proximal segment of the bowel telescopes into the distal segment. 90% of the cases, especially in infants and toddlers, do not have any lead point and are due to lymphoid hypertrophy, following a viral infection. The presence of polyps in the form of lead point in children is rare. In fact, multiple polyps presenting as multiple sites intussusception are much rarer. We report a case of multiple intussusceptions in a 11-year-old female who presented with complaints of pain abdomen and blood-mixed stool. On imaging examination, she was found to having multiple polyps serving as a possible lead point, and was managed with hydroreduction. Imaging in case of multiple intussusception typically reveals concentric rings of bowel within the bowel giving a "target sign" on axial scans and a "pseudo-kidney sign" on coronal/sagittal CT scans. Our case report shows that, multiple intussusception due to multiple polyps can be a possibility for acute pain abdomen in children.
