Abstract

Multiple transient intussuceptions of the small intestine may occur following diffuse intramural hemorrhage. Such intussusceptions have been reported in gastrointestinal allergy and sprue. A case is presented in which transient intussusceptions involved several different segments of the small bowel but produced no symptoms. A disordered motor function during the recovery from the intestinal hemorrhage may explain the intussusceptions.
