	Abstract

Intussusception can often be a difficult diagnosis as many children do not present with the typical findings of abdominal pain, vomiting, and hematochezia.The authors report the case of a young child who presented with back pain as the only symptom of intussusception.We encourage pediatricians to consider this diagnosis in any child with episodes of intermittent abdominal or back pain.
