Overview

Common causes of intussusception in children can be divided into idiopathic and pathologic. Idiopathic causes include seasonal viral gastroenteritis, rotavirus vaccine, adenovirus infection, and bacterial enteritis. Pathologic causes of intussusception in children include Henoch-Schonlein purpura, cystic fibrosis, Celiac disease, Crohn's disease, Meckel's diverticulum, polyps, duplication cysts, and lymphoma. Intussusception in adults is mostly due to a pathologic lead point. Non-idiopathic intestinal causes for intussusception in adults can further be divided into benign and malignant enteric causes, and benign and malignant colonic causes.
