Popis: Intestinal obstruction in general, and intussusceptions in particular, is an uncommon clinical event which may complicate pregnancy with significant maternal and fetal mortality. We report a case of strangulating ileocolic intussusception during pregnancy at 22 weeks of gestation and its successful management. The usefulness of ultrasound in early diagnosis of intussusception in pregnancy is briefly discussed.
