Abstract
Intussusception is uncommon in infants with a colostomy. The authors p resent the first documented case of intussusception in an infant with a colostomy in which pneumatic reduction was achieved via the stomal o pening. The inflated balloon of a Foley catheter was plugged against t he stoma at skin level and a tight seal was obtained, Successful reduc tion was achieved without any adverse effects to the patient.
