Jejunal intussusception as a rare cause of newborn bowel obstruction

Neonatal intussusception is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction in the neonate, particularly in a newborn. It can present similar to necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), with findings such as abdominal distension, feeding intolerance, and gastrointestinal bleeding. This often results in delayed diagn...
