Meckel's diverticulum is commonest lead point for intussusception in children. Appendix is part of the intusssusception of the commonest ileocolic type but appendix as lead point for intussusception is rare. We report a series of 3 cases of intussusception in children, wherein a pathological appendix was the lead point. We would like to propose that more likely a pathological appendix, acts as a lead point leading to an appendico-caeco-colic intussusception rather than a normal appendix.
梅克尔憩室是儿童肠套叠最常见的起始点。阑尾是最常见的回结肠型肠套叠的一部分,但阑尾作为肠套叠的起始点很罕见。我们报告了一系列3例儿童肠套叠病例,其中病理性阑尾是起始点。我们认为更有可能是病理性阑尾作为起始点导致阑尾-盲肠-结肠型肠套叠,而不是正常阑尾。
