Abstract

Intussusception in children over the age of two frequently has an identifiable pathologic lead point linked to underlying causes, such as intestinal hematomas, lymphomas, polyps, duplications, and Meckel's diverticulum. These cases, which frequently present with severe abdominal pain paroxysms, warrant further investigation. A 5-year-old girl with abdominal pain was diagnosed with Burkitt's lymphoma, which caused her intussusception.
