Zusammenfassung:Appendiceal intussusception is a rare entity. The majority of cases reported in the literature address surgical and colonoscopic approaches to treatment of the condition.

We present a case of appendiceal intussusception and describe the air-contrast enema, sonographic and CT findings.
