ABSTRACT

A case of a male infant of 6 months of age is presented, that goes to consultation of emergency service, in the Provincial Teaching Hospital in Ciego de Avila with vomiting and diarrhea streaked of blood. Relevant ultrasonography studies were carried out and it arrived to diagnosis of intussusception. Joint assessment was conducted with the pediatric surgery department, and hydrostatic reduction applies with saline solution and ultrasonographic guidance, achieving a total reduction of the affected bowel segment, thus avoiding surgery.
