He was initially misdiagnosed with tardive dyskinesia and treated with biperiden without improvement. Neurologic examination and brain magnetic resonance imaging were normal. During observation, he developed bilious vomiting. Abdominal imaging revealed ileocolic intussusception. Pneumatic reduction was unsuccessful, and surgical exploration demonstrated an invaginated Meckel diverticulum with ischemic bowel requiring resection. Abnormal movements resolved completely following surgery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We conducted a systematic case-based review of published pediatric cases of intussusception presenting with neurological manifestations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Neurological symptoms\u2014most commonly lethargy and altered mental status\u2014frequently dominated the initial presentation and contributed to significant diagnostic delay (median 12 hours vs 5 hours in classic presentations,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.001).
