Prompt diagnosis and treatment of intussusception are essential to prevent complications such as bowel necrosis. Ultrasound is the preferred imaging modality, offering high sensitivity and a radiation-free approach. Both fluoroscopy-guided pneumatic enema and ultrasound-guided hydrostatic enema are safe and effective methods for noninvasive reduction of ileocolic intussusception. The absence of ionizing radiation in the ultrasound-guided hydrostatic enema makes it a preferable option for pediatric intussusception reduction, provided that appropriate staffing and radiologist expertise are available.
