The degree of damage to the intestine depends on the severity of the intussusception. In severe or chronic cases fibrinous adhesions form between surfaces making the structure irreducible. Necrosis of the tissue usually follows.

Intussusception may occur due to post mortem change, in this case there are no other associated changes and the invaginated intestine is easily reducible.
