Abstract
Intussusception is a condition which usually occurs below the age of five. Here we present a case report of an 11 year old boy who presented with abdominal pain. Diagnosis was confirmed by Computed tomography imaging which showed a Jejunojejunal intussusception. Conservative management was done which led to a successful outcome. This case focuses on the need for considering intussusception in differential diagnosis in patients of age group above 6 years in diagnosis of abdominal pain and obstruction.
