Intussusception is defined as telescoping of a segment of gastrointestinal tract into an adjacent one. In small children, it is the commonest cause of intestinal obstruction. More than 90% of childhood intussusceptions are idiopathic. We report a rare case of localized small intestinal lymphangiectasia, presenting as intussusception in a 6-month-old male child. The child presented with features of acute intestinal obstruction for which he was later operated. The gross examination of excised ileocecal mass revealed intussusception. Histopathologic examination revealed lymphangiectasia of small intestine, which acted as a lead point for ileocecal intussusception. Postoperative period was uneventful.
肠套叠被定义为一段胃肠道套入相邻的胃肠道。在小儿中，它是肠梗阻最常见的原因。超过90%的儿童肠套叠是特发性的。我们报告一例罕见的局限性小肠淋巴管扩张症，表现为一名6个月大男童的肠套叠。该患儿表现出急性肠梗阻的特征，随后接受了手术。对切除的回盲部肿物进行大体检查发现为肠套叠。组织病理学检查显示小肠淋巴管扩张，这是回盲部肠套叠的起始点。术后恢复顺利。
