Neglected intussusception presenting as transanal prolapse of small bowel.

Although transanal prolapse of intussusception in infants is well recognized, it is rarely reported and confusion with rectal prolapse often results in delayed diagnosis and treatment. This report highlights the problems of delayed diagnosis and the morbidity and mortality associated with this condition. The authors report a case of 9 mo old boy who presented with prolapsing small bowel mimicking rectal prolapse.
