Case 1: A six-month-old girl presented with a 12-hour history of episodic severe crampy abdominal pain interspersed with pain free periods. During a colic attack, the child would stiffen and pull the legs up to the abdomen. The child was passing bright red mucoid clots per rectum (currant jelly stools) and had a palpable mass in the right upper quadrant. Ultrasound was consistent with intussusception.

Due to signs of peritonitis and the patient's poor condition, the patient was taken to the operating room and the abdomen opened through a right upper quadrant supraumbilical incision.
