An eleven-month-old male was brought in for a 1-day history of abdominal distension and anorexia associated with increased fussiness and multiple bouts of non-bloody diarrhea without any vomiting. A kidney, ureter and bladder (KUB) radiograph and abdominal ultrasound were obtained (Figure 1). (Figure 1). After placing a nasogastric (NG) tube (Figure 2), a repeated KUB showed gastric decompression with the NG tube extending into the stomach. An abdominal ultrasound showed transient small bowel to small bowel intussusception in the left lower quadrant, which spontaneously decreased during the course of the examination (Figure 3).
