Abstract
We report a pair of brothers who developed acute idiopathic ileocolic intussusceptions. In both cases they were admitted at the age of 2 years because of colicky abdominal pain and vomiting. Their laboratory data showed some infection before crisis. Hydrostatic reductions were made successfully after 9 hours duration. The barium enema showed the cecum mobile in the younger brother. Sixty-four cases including our case have been summarized. Five cases had anatomic abnormalities such as cecum mobility and malrotation. Although this abnormality was found in one sibling, the other, it was not found in. Common infection as an etiologic factor was recognized in 4 siblings. Etiology of intussusception in siblings depends on not only the anatomic factors but also environmental factors.
