A case series on intussusceptions in infants presenting with listlessness

Intussusception is characterised by abdominal pain, vomiting and blood in stools. However, in younger infants it may present with non-classical symptoms such as listlessness, pallor, decreased feeding, and being non-specifically unwell. Three cases of intussusception in young infants who presented with being listless and had some or no features to suggest a clinical diagnosis of intussusception are described which are designed to highlight the non-classical features of intussusception likely to be encountered in very young infants.
