ABSTRACT
This report presents a set of identical twins who had recurrent intussusceptions. One twin had intussusception 3 times, and the other had it 7 times. They were usually diagnosed by ultrasonography and reduced by air contrast enema. Manual operative reduction was performed separately for each one due to failure of the enema. Unfortunately, we still could not determine the exact cause. A few cases of intussusceptions in identical twins within a few days of each other have been reported, which may be the result of a congenital predisposition triggered by an acquired agent. We report a rare case of recurrent intussusceptions in identical twins within 4 years.
