Abstract
Intussusception is a very rare cause of neonatal intestinal obstruction, particularly in preterm neonates. This rarity may lead to a significant delay in diagnosis. We present a case report of ileo-ileal intussusception occurring in a preterm neonate. Intussusception should be suspected in any neonate suffering from intestinal obstruction. Performing an abdominal ultrasound may confirm the diagnosis.
