Overview
If left untreated, patients with intussusception may progress to develop intestinal obstruction, intestinal perforation, and peritonitis. Common complications of intussusception include intestinal perforation,intestinal hernia, intestinal adhesion, peritonitis, intestinal necrosis, electrolyte imbalance, and recurrence of intussusception. Prognosis is generally excellent if diagnosed and treated early. If intussusception is not treated then intussusception can result in death in 2-5 days.
Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis
Natural history
- If left untreated, patients with intussusception may progress to develop intestinal obstruction, perforation, and peritonitis .
- If intussusception is not treated then it may be fatal within 2-5 days.
Complications
- Common complications of intussusception include:
Prognosis
- After non-operative reduction is less than 10%.[3]
- Recurrence mostly occurs within 72 hours after first episode.
- In some cases recurrence has been reported after 36 months.
- More than 1 recurrence can be due to a lead point.
- After pneumatic enema recurrence rate is 4%.
- After barium enema recurrence rate is 10%.
