Anorexia (14\/17), lethargy (12\/17), and vomiting (12\/17) were the most common reasons for examination. Dehydration (13\/18), poor body condition (12\/18), signs of abdominal pain (8\/18), and an abdominal mass (8\/18) were the most common physical examination findings. Abdominal radiography revealed intestinal obstruction in all 10 cats in which it was performed; abdominal ultrasonography revealed intussusception in all 7 cats in which it was performed. The most common intussusception was jejuno-jejunal (8\/20), and no intussusceptions were found proximal to the duodenum. Eleven of 13 cats that underwent laparotomy required intestinal resection and anastomosis. Histologic examination revealed intestinal lymphoma or inflammatory bowel disease in 7 of 8 cats \u2265 6 years old and idiopathic intussusception in 7 of 8 cats &lt; 1 year old.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions and Clinical Relevance<\/jats:bold>\u2014Results suggested that in cats, intussusception has a bimodal age distribution, is most commonly jejuno-jejunal, often requires surgical resection and anastomosis, is often associated with alimentary lymphoma or inflammatory bowel disease in older cats, and is readily diagnosed by means of ultrasonography.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.234.6.771","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,3,15]],"date-time":"2009-03-15T08:02:31Z","timestamp":1237104151000},"page":"771-776","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":42,"title":["Signalment, history, and outcome of cats with gastrointestinal tract intussusception: 20 cases (1986\u20132000)"],"prefix":"10.2460","volume":"234","author":[{"given":"Jamie M.","family":"Burkitt","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kenneth J.","family":"Drobatz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"H.
