The comment we are reporting refers to an exceptional form of acute intestinal invagination of the infant. It is question of a total ileocecocolic invagination in which the hump invaginated part came to lodge to the superior part of the rectal ampulla. The treatment was a radio-surgical one and the operative follow-up without any complications.
