====Radiography====

====Radiography====

*Plain abdominal radiography may reveal obstruction in the intestines.  This, however, may not be present in cases of partial, chronic or intermittent intussusception.  Jejunojejunal intussusception is reported to show signs of obstruction more commonly compared to ileocolic intussusception.  A mass may be seen on radiograph.

Plain abdominal radiographs may reveal obstruction in the intestines, distented loops of intestine .  This, however, may not be present in cases of partial, chronic or intermittent intussusception.  Jejunojejunal intussusception is reported to show signs of obstruction more commonly compared to ileocolic intussusception.  A mass may be seen on radiograph.

*A barium enema or upper gastrointestinal contrast study can be useful in identifying the site of obstruction.  This should be used with care as leakage of contrast into the abdominal cavity will result in peritonitis.
