Background: Postoperative intussusception is an unusual complication in children; the incidence is 0.01-0.25%., Clinical Case: Female of 11 months who underwent colostomy, 48 h later presents abdominal pain, vomiting gastrobiliar and abdominal distension. A laparotomy was performed, finding a double ileo-ileal invagination 60 cm from the ileocecal valve., Discussion: The postoperative intestinal invaginations are extremely rare and most of them occur within the first 7 days. The etiology of postoperative intussusception is unknown., Conclusions: Postoperative children with intestinal occlusion, intussusception should be suspected and an immediate laparotomy should be performed., (Copyright: © 2020 Permanyer.)
