## TL;DR

A case report describes an 11-year-old boy with jejunojejunal intussusception, highlighting the importance of considering this condition in older children with abdominal pain.

## Contribution

This report adds to the limited literature on intussusception in children over six years old.

## Key findings

- Computed tomography confirmed jejunojejunal intussusception in an 11-year-old patient.
- Conservative management successfully resolved the condition.
- The case emphasizes including intussusception in differential diagnoses for older children with abdominal pain.

## 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.
