| Abstract |
To analyze the spectrum of clinical features, management and outcome of children with documented spontaneous reduction of intussusception (SROI). Review of records of 50 children (33 boys, 17 girls; age range 11 days-15 years; mean age 4 years) with documented SROI, in whom intussusception was initially diagnosed by sonography (US) in 44, air enema in 2, and computed tomography in 4, in the 6-year period 1992-1998. Symptoms suggestive of intussusception were present in 21 (3 of whom had Henoch-Schönlein purpura and 4 had previous ileocolic intussusception reduced by air enema). Intussusception was an incidental finding in the other 29, in 28 of whom the finding was in the small bowel. Intussusception was limited to the small bowel in 43 and was ileocolic in 7. SROI was usually documented on US. Laparotomy performed in only 4 showed no evidence of intussusception or pathologic lead point. Outcome in all patients was favorable. SROI may present in symptomatic or asymptomatic children and occurs more commonly than previously reported. These intussusceptions are usually short-segment, small-bowel intussusceptions with no recognizable lead point. In asymptomatic patients, conservative observation is warranted. Intervention should be dictated by the clinical findings in symptomatic patients. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 05 February 2016.
All research outputs
#6,754,462
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Pediatric Radiology
#492
of 2,232 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#18,768
of 109,784 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Pediatric Radiology
#2
of 8 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 73rd percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,232 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.8. This one has done well, scoring higher than 77% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 109,784 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 8 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 6 of them.
