Our study involved 225 patients, 35 of whom presented with secondary acute intestinal intussusception, a frequency of 15.55%, with an annual average of 5.8 cases. The mean age was 4.4 years, with extremes of 15 days and 14 years, of which 62.8% occurred after 2 years (n: 22), with a male predominance of 77.1% of cases (n: 27). The mean duration of evolution was 2.7 days. The discovery of intermittent and chronic abdominal pain and vomiting were the main reasons for consultation in 68.6% of cases (n: 24). The symptomatic triad was present in 22 patients, i.e. 62.8% of cases, and four occlusive syndromes, i.e. 11.42%. With regard to complementary examinations, abdominal ultrasonography played a key role in the diagnosis of II, the suspicion of IIAS, the location (ileo-ileal, colo-colic) and the identification of the causative lesion. Surgical treatment was performed in 100% of cases (n: 35). Outcome was favorable in 77.1% of cases (n: 27). Average hospital stay was 9.24 days.
