A standard type of ileocolic intussusception was produced in 69 puppies and the effect of glucagon on the hydrostatic reduction of the intussusceptions evaluated in a prospective, double-blind study. The reductions were attempted at intervals varying from 18 to 60 hr following the production of the intussusceptions. The overall reduction rate was 70% and there was no statistical difference in this rate between the animals receiving glucagon and those receiving placebos. None of the gangrenous intussusceptions were reducible with the hydrostatic pressure technique, irrespective of whether glucagon was used or not. A further evaluation was made of those animals in whom successful reductions were accomplished by the hydrostatic pressure method. Glucagon did result in significantly easier reductions, and an earlier return of normal vascular supply as measured by color and by arterial pulsations as compared to the control group.

A unique case of a hitherto unreported antegrade intussusception of the ureter secondary to a lead pedunculated polypoid transitional cell tumor is presented. Radiological documentation and surgical verification are illustrated. An attempted explanation of the peculiar radiographic appearance proximal to and within the intussusception is given. The potential aid in preoperative recognition of such an entity is proposed.

Five cases of lymphosarcoma of the bowel in Nigerian Igbo children are presented. They were found to be similar to an Australian series in the following respects: boys were more commonly affected than girls; affected children were all aged over two years; and the two main modes of presentation were intussusception and a localized abdominal mass. Unlike Australian children, Nigerian Igbos did not present with features suggestive of acute appendicitis.

A case of intestinal intussusception (I.I.) is described in a newborn and 42 cases in the literature revised. I.I. is not a frequent entity in the neonate and has special clinical and radiological characteristics. Symptomatology of patients is unspecific and makes diagnosis difficult. The elevated incidence of necrosis and intestinal perforation, possibly related with the delay with which diagnosis is effected, is without doubt the determing factor in the high incidence of mortality in these patients. The finding of a conditioning organic lesion is much more frequent in the neonatal period than later ages.

A further review of adult intussusception in Glasgow between 1968 and 1974 is presented. A higher than expected incidence of idiopathic intussusception has been found both in this and in the earlier Glasgow series of Smith and Gillespie (1968)--44 per cent and 50 per cent respectively.

Twenty-one of 25 episodes of ileocolic intussusception were successfully reduced by the barium enema hydrostatic technique supplemented by glucagon. No apparent serious complications occurred from the use of this drug. The comfort of the children and the ease of filling the colon and small bowel seemed enhanced by the glucagon.

Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is a familial disease characterized by spots on the lips and intestinal polyposis. A review of the history and the anatomic features of the disease are presented. One of us (AJM) has the largest personal series in the literature with twenty patients in five generations. Pedigree charts and aspects relating to the development and interrelationships of spots and polyps are explained. A previously unreported instance of colon intussusception is presented along with a discussion of the clinical presentation and the malignant potential.

Intussusception of the vermiform appendix is reported in a frequency of 0.01%. Different aetiologic factors are implicated, a directed hyperperistalsis against intraluminal obstruction is thought to be the pathogenetic mechanism. There is a lack of typical symptoms, very often appendicitis or caecal tumor is diagnosed. Concomitant inflammation renders recognition more difficult. The caecum must be resected if a malignant tumour cannot be ruled out. Appendectomy is performed in definite findings. Our case report may remind of this uncommon occurrence.

Intussusception of the duodenum is a relatively rare event, and usually results from the presence of benign tumors. A case of duodenal intussusception secondary to Brunner's gland hamartoma is described and its differential diagnosis discussed.

Spontaneous penumoperitoneum and pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis have been undescribed complications of celiac disease. In the case reported, small bowel gas cysts caused an obstructing intussusception. The etiology of the pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis is discussed.
