The clinical and radiological features of 24 cases of childhood intussusception presenting at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital are analysed. Nineteen (79%) children presented before the age of one year and the main symptoms were vomiting 87%, passage of bloody stool 62%, abdominal pain 50% and palpable abdominal mass 33%. The commonest aetiologic agent was ascariasis which was seen in three children. Radiological examination was found most useful in selecting patients for barium hydrostactic reduction, and a case is made for the use of the latter procedure in the treatment of childhood intussusception in developing countries. The high case fatality rate of 25% is related to the late presentation of children to hospital.
对在贝宁大学教学医院就诊的24例儿童肠套叠的临床和放射学特征进行了分析。19名（79%）儿童在1岁前发病，主要症状为呕吐（87%）、便血（62%）、腹痛（50%）和可触及腹部肿块（33%）。最常见的病因是蛔虫病，有3名儿童出现该病因。放射学检查在选择进行钡剂水压灌肠复位的患者方面最为有用，本文支持在发展中国家使用该方法治疗儿童肠套叠。25%的高病死率与儿童就医延迟有关。
