Abstract
Most of the cases of intussusception in children are labeled as idiopathic and not usually investigated. Only rare cases of chronic or recurrent intussusception receive greater attention and further investigations. Celiac disease appears to be associated with modestly increased risk of intussusception, although most of these cases remain asymptomatic. Debate still continues as to whether all patients of intussusception should be screened for celiac disease. We present case of a 7 years old child who presented with recurrent intussusception, underwent laparotomy initially and was later diagnosed to have celiac disease.
