저자들은 복부 통증 및 구토를 주소로 내원한 HSP를 진단받은 5세의 남아에서, 복부 초음파 검사를 통해 공장-공장형 장중첩증을 진단하였으며 그 후 자연감압으로 증세가 호전되었고, 복부 전산화 단층 촬영 검사로 자연정복되었음을 확인한 환아 1례를 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.
Gastrointestinal involvement occurs in two thirds of children with Henoch-Sch$"{o}$nlein purpura (HSP) and intussusception is by far the most common abdominal complication. Intussusception in HSP almost originates in the small bowel, which is in contrast with idiopathic intussusception. Earlier diagnosis and prompt treatment of intra-abdominal complications can reduce the mortality and ultrasound is the imaging modality of choice in evaluation the bowel manifestations of HSP. We report a case of jejuno-jejunal intussusception associated with HSP in a 5-year-old boy who presented with diffuse abdominal pain and vomiting after a few days of HSP onset. Abdominal ultrasound demonstrated intussusception in the jejunum with well defined target appearance because of the thickened intussusceptum, which disappeared on the computerized tomographic examination checked approximately 24 hours later. A brief review of literature was made.
