Food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome is a severe cell-mediated, non-immunoglobulin E-mediated gastrointestinal food allergy, typically to milk and soy. It may masquerade as more common pediatric presentations, where the temporal relationship between symptomatology and exposure to food offers a vital clue to the underlying pathology. A case of food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome presenting with features similar to intussusception, leading to unnecessary surgery, is presented.

Anaphylactic food reaction often involves gastrointestinal symptoms, such as vomiting and abdominal pain, but to date, there have been no publications documenting the association between food hypersensitivity and intussusception. Herein is reported the case of a 2-year-old boy with intussusception accompanied by anaphylactic food reaction. The patient without known allergies complained of severe abdominal pain following ingestion of salmon roe for the first time. Dyspnea, wheezing and generalized urticaria also developed. Subsequently, he had stools containing jelly-like blood with mucus. At hospital arrival, physical examination identified an abdominal mass in the right lower quadrant; imaging confirmed the diagnosis of colo-colic intussusception. This patient was successfully treated with enema and no pathological findings were identified via radiology. Laboratory results supported the presence of IgE-mediated allergy to salmon roe in the present patient. To our knowledge, this is the first report to describe the possible association between intussusception and a hypersensitive food reaction.

Recurrent intussusception is a management dilemma and have many causes. We report a 22-month old boy who presented multiple times for recurrent intussusception. At diagnostic work-up he was found to be suffering from non-IgE food allergy. The child did not develop further episodes of intussusception after removal of allergenic diet.

Although intussusception and food allergy are common health problems in childhood, the relation between these two diseases remain obscure. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between food allergy and intussusception, and the factors associated with both. Patients diagnosed with intussusception by the Brighton Collaboration Intussusception Working Group criteria were prospectively investigated for food allergy per the European Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN) Guideline. They were analyzed per demographic features, clinical, physical and laboratory findings. There were eight (38.1%) patients diagnosed with food allergy, while 13 (61.9%) patients were non-allergic. The mean number of days of presenting symptoms was 1.13 days in the allergy group and 7.85 days in the non-allergy group. The mean number of intussusception attacks was 1.63 in the allergy group while 1 in the non-allergy group (p < 0.05, relative risk (RR) = 2.6). In the allergy group, one (13%) patient was followed up, six (75%) patients were reduced with pneumatic and one (13%) patient reduced manually. In the non-allergy group, four (31%) patients were followed up, six (46%) patients were reduced with pneumotic, one (7%) patient was reduced manually, and resection anastomosis was performed in two (15%) patients. Food allergy is an unrecognized associated factor for intussusception patients, which increases the risk for recurrence. Due to the small patient population, these results should be interpreted with caution.
