Keywords:

Abstract
Isolated colocolic intussusception in paediatric age group is quite rare with juvenile polyps being the most important pathological lead points. We are reporting a case of colocolic intussusception secondary to solitary hamartomatous polyp as lead point in a 3.5 year old male child who presented with profuse bleeding per rectum. The patient was successfully managed by reduction and colonic resection with colo colic anastomosis and is doing well in follow up. DOI: 10.21276/APALM.1018References
