The mean age of children diagnosed with intussusception is 2.59 years, predominantly in males (65.22%). A total of 3.33% were 10 years or older. Only 3.58% presented with the classical triad\u2014intermittent abdominal pain, vomiting, and bloody stools. In contrast, 22.51% of our Asian patients presented with a triad of intermittent abdominal pain, indrawing of legs, and vomiting. A total of 76.73% of our subjects were treated by air enema only, whereas 22 required surgical treatment after unsuccessful attempts of air enema, and 63 resolved spontaneously, including 7 with ileoileal intussusception. No mortality was documented.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Intussusception is usually diagnosed in the younger population (age &lt;1 year) and predominantly in males. Our study has established that older Asian children can also have intussusception. The classical triad is not a very sensitive diagnostic tool, but the combination of abdominal pain, indrawing of legs, and vomiting may be a more common presenting triad in Asian children.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1097\/pec.0000000000000548","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,10]],"date-time":"2015-11-10T13:04:30Z","timestamp":1447160670000},"page":"409-413","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Intussusception
