Intussusception
Intussusception is invagination of the intestine into an adjacent segment, most commonly involving the ileocecal valve. This process occludes blood supply to the bowel and can progress from tissue ischemia to necrosis/perforation. It is most likely to be idiopathic, but can be caused by a variety of pathological lead points.
