Intussuception was a common cause of intestinal obstruction at the University College Hospital, Ibadan. A peculiar type characterized by being ceco-colic, and found most commonly in adults, was the commonest variety found, but over the last few years this type of intussusception appears to have reduced in incidence. The aim of the study is to define the relative incidence of intussusception and the contribution of the various types of the overall incidence as seen at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria.
