| Popis: | The risk of intussusception occurring in the siblings of patients with intussusception is thought to be low, and there is no previous report of the condition occurring in twins. In our case the second twin was affected within 36 hours of the onset in the first. Adenovirus was cultured from the one twin who was investigated. See image in the PDF.file CASE REPORT The twins were identical boys of West Indian descent, 25 months of age, born and bred in England. They were perfectly well until the early hours of May 26, 1972, when twin A began to scream with acute abdominal pain. |
