Seventy-seven infants and children with intussusception were treated during the period of October 1971 through December 1980. The clinical features of the disease, the indication, the methods and the results of treatment were described. Fifty-eight patients with ileo-cecal or ileo-colic type were successfully treated only by barium enema, and fourteen ileo-ileocolic and ileo-ileal types were reduced by barium enema together with "external Hutchinson's method" under general anesthesia. Only five ileo-ileocolic types were treated surgically.
