The article aimed to increase the awareness of the very rare medical condition known as postoperative intestinal intussusception [POI] in children. The results of this study demonstrated that Frequently, POI is misdiagnosed as postoperative adhesive obstruction. POI is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction with POI after surgical reduction of ileocolic intussusception being an extremely rare variant.
