CHU Morvan, Brest.

Since May 1982, when the pediatric surgery group of Rouen has published their study in the 39th congress of "Societe Française de Chirurgie Infantile", regular surgical attitude in treatment of intussusception was abandoned by our team. Seventy cases were admitted in our section in the period (06-82/06-86), age ranged from one month to nine years. All except one were subjected to radio-opaque enema as a method of treatment with success rate of 89% reduction. Optimum conditions, failures (7 case), perforation (one case) and recurrence are presented. We conclude the efficacy of this treatment in condition of a rigorous technic.
