Case Reports[Use of glucagon in the reduction of intussusception; presentation of one case (author's transl)].
Intramuscular glucagon was used in one patient with ileocolic intussusception when standard therapeutic barium enema reduction failed. Reduction was accomplished following administration of glucagon and a repeat barium enema. Use of the two methods together may improve the success rate of nonoperative reduction of intussusception.
