HERNANDEZ MOORE, Elizabeth et al. Clinical Practice Guideline Intestinal invagination in children. Rev Cubana Pediatr [online]. 2021, vol.93, n.2  Epub 01-Jun-2021. ISSN 1561-3119.

Intestinal invagination is the most common cause of intestinal occlusion in infants and children under two years of age. Due to its frequency, the diversity of clinical forms and the available treatment variants, this Guideline is made with the aim of achieving early diagnosis in the greatest number of cases and systematizing the updated treatment of this entity in pediatric surgery services. The classic presentation form of it is: colics, vomiting, gooseberry jelly kind of stools and lethargy, only present in 30% of patients. Diagnosis is currently confirmed by ultrasound. Invagination can be treated in two ways: by hydrostatic or pneumatic reduction methods with imaging follow-up, indicated in children with non-complicated invaginations, and surgical treatment. The Clinical Practice Guideline for Intestinal Invagination approved by consensus was presented at the III National Symposium of Pediatric Surgery in Varadero/2019.
