Abstract

Authors' conclusions: intussusception is more common in children with CD than in the general pediatric population. This cause should be suspected even in apparently healthy children, specially if nutritional abnormalities or failure to thrive are detected in the context of abdominal symptoms.

Reviewers' commentary: to confirm the results of this study it would be necessary the implementation of well-designed prospective studies with control variables that an entry modifier the relationship between intussusception and celiac disease and also to know if the results are reproductible in other studies. These data are not sufficient to change, for the moment, the management of intussusception.
