Intestinal obstruction, often referred to as bowel obstruction, can occur due to various causes, including adhesions from previous surgeries, tumors, hernias, or inflammatory bowel diseases. In children, one common cause is intussusception, where a part of the intestine telescopes into an adjacent segment, leading to blockage. Symptoms may include severe abdominal pain, vomiting, and changes in bowel movements. Prompt medical attention is essential to address the underlying cause and prevent complications.
