Abdominal catheter-induced intussusception following renal transplantation in two pediatric recipients: 2 cases report and literature review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Intussusception is a frequent abdominal emergency in the pediatric population when the proximal bowel invaginates into the distal bowel.
