Abstract

Abdominal pain is a frequent symptom in the child with Henoch-Scholein purpura and raises the suspicion of intussusception or perforation. Careful clinical evaluation in the face of radiological appearance of intestinal obstruction in Henoch-Scholein purpura will avoid the morbidity associated with a missed intussusception or perforation.
We report a case of intussusception and perforation in Henoch-Scholein purpura.
