Abstract
We describe three cases of adult intussusception in which ultrasonography p rovided the correct preoperative diagnosis. Patients underwent ultrasonogra phy to investigate nonspecific acute abdominal pain; intussusception was no t suspected. In all cases, the sonographic pattern was typical of intussusc eption and ultrasonography was the only diagnostic study. Bowel ischemia wa s not found at surgery in any patient.
