'''Intussusception''' is the invagination of one portion of the gastrointestinal tract into the lumen of the adjacent portion. The '''intussusceptum''' is the invaginated segment and the '''intussuscipien''' is the enveloping segment. A normograde intussusception is most common, but retrograde intussusception has also been reported.
