Twenty eight cases were seen over the study period with an age range of 3 months to 13 years with mean ± SD of 1.97 ± 2.74 years. Majority (64.3%) were less than one year of age. 71.4% of presented late. The classic triad of symptoms was seen in 28.6% cases. Ileoceacal and colocolic intussusceptions were observed in 19 patients (67.9%), and 4 patients (14.3%) respectively. A leading point was found in 8 cases only. 21.4% of patients were treated by other physician as a case of gastroenteritis before been diagnosed as intussusceptions.
