The plain radiographs of 40 patients with intussusception were reviewed with special attention to diagnostic features previously reported in this condition. Sixty percent of the cases demonstrated a soft-tissue mass on the radiograph. However, fully one-half of all masses were seen only on a horizontal beam radiograph. The use of plain radiographs to exclude the diagnosis of intussusception is not advocated. Nevertheless, attention is drawn to the frequency of abnormal plain findings, especially a soft-tissue mass on the horizontal beam examination.
