Abstract
Two [human] infants aged 5 and 8 mo. who developed a marked alteration in consciousness as a precocious manifestation of ileo-colic intussusception are reported. Previously described abnormalities of CNS function accompanying intussusception are reviewed. In the face of acutely altered sensorium without apparent cause in the infant the diagnosis of intussusception should be considered.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
