Most of the cases of intussusception in children are labeled as idiopathic and not usually investigated. Only rare cases of chronic or recurrent intussusception receive greater attention and further investigations. Celiac disease appears to be associated with modestly increased risk of intussusception, although most of these cases remain asymptomatic. Debate still continues as to whether all patients of intussusception should be screened for celiac disease. We present case of a 7 years old child who presented with recurrent intussusception, underwent laparotomy initially and was later diagnosed to have celiac disease.
大多数儿童肠套叠病例被标记为特发性，通常不会进行调查。只有少数慢性或复发性肠套叠病例会受到更多关注并进行进一步调查。乳糜泻似乎与肠套叠的风险略有增加有关，尽管这些病例大多数仍无症状。目前仍存在争议，即是否所有肠套叠患者都应筛查乳糜泻。我们报告了一例 7 岁儿童，该儿童反复出现肠套叠，最初行剖腹手术，后来被诊断为乳糜泻。
