Overview

Intussusception may be classified into several subtypes based on location and etiology. According to location of intussusception it is classified into ileocolic, ileo-ileo-colic, jejuno-jejunal, jejuno-ileal, and colo-colic. According to etiology of intussusception it is classified into idiopathic or lead point (pathologic) types.

Classification

  • Intussusception can be classified according to various parameters:-
    • Classification of intussusception based on its location:-
      • Ileocolic intussusception[1]
        • 90% cases.
        • It involves the ileocecal junction.
      • Ileo-ileo-colic
      • Jejuno-jejunal
      • Jejuno-ileal
      • Colo-colic

  • Classification based on etiology
    • Intussusception can be classified into 2 types based on etiology:
      • Idiopathic:
        • In the idiopathic type there is no clear trigger point.
        • Most commonly seen in children.
      • Lead point:
        • In the lead point type there is a clear pathologic trigger.
        • Most commonly seen in adults.
