Abstract
Intussusception is a frequent cause of bowel obstruction in infants and toddlers. Correct diagnosis in majority of the patient with acute intussusception is made by typical presentation and symptoms. However, atypical presentation and chronic symptoms may cause delay in diagnosis of chronic intussusception. Four cases of chronic intussusception are reported. There was no leading point in patients and they had mobile colon or poor fixation of colon. A typical presentation and diagnostic delay in chronic intussusception are argued.
