Point-of-Care Ultrasonography for the Rapid Diagnosis of Intussusception: A Case Series

Abstract: We present a case series describing an infant and a child who presented with abdominal discomfort and their conditions were diagnosed with intussusception by point-of-care ultrasound. These cases illustrate how point-of-care ultrasound led to the expeditious diagnosis of intussusception.
