Gastrointestinal diseases
Description:
An intussusception (a blockage of the intestine) is a medical condition in which a part of the small intestine has in-vaginated into another section of intestine, similar to the way in which the parts of a collapsible telescope slide into one another. The part which prolapses into the other is called the intussusceptum, and the part which receives it is called the intussuscipiens.
