'''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.
