Nationwide Intussusception Lawyers
We Pursue Compensation for the Vaccine Injured Across America
Intussusception is a serious medical condition where a part of the intestine folds into an adjacent section, similar to the way segments of a telescope slide into one another. This can lead to bowel obstruction, cutting off the blood supply to the affected part of the intestine and potentially leading to tissue death. Intussusception is most common in young children but can also occur in older children and adults.
Certain vaccines have been associated with an increased risk of intussusception, particularly in infants. These include the rotavirus vaccine, which can significantly reduce the risk of gastroenteritis, an infection that predominantly affects children.
Intussusception is characterized by severe watery diarrhea, vomiting, fever, and abdominal pain. The illness can lead to significant dehydration, which is particularly dangerous for young children and can result in hospitalization.
Rotavirus is highly contagious and spreads quickly through the fecal-oral route, often via contaminated hands, surfaces, or food. Vaccination has been highly effective in reducing the incidence of rotavirus gastroenteritis, though occasional cases still occur.
As a law firm focusing exclusively on vaccine injury claims made through the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP), Jeffrey S. Pop & Associates can help you pursue federal compensation. If you believe you or your child has suffered intussusception due to vaccination, we urge you to consult with one of our attorneys as soon as possible.

What Can Happen to Children if Intussusception Is Not Treated?
If intussusception is not promptly treated in children, it can lead to severe complications and potentially life-threatening consequences. One of the most immediate dangers is bowel obstruction, which prevents food and fluids from passing through the intestines.
This can result in extreme pain and vomiting. As the blood supply to the affected portion of the intestine is cut off, tissue death (necrosis) can occur, raising the risk of perforation (a hole in the intestinal wall).
Perforation can lead to peritonitis, a severe infection of the abdominal cavity, which requires urgent medical intervention. Prolonged obstruction and infection can ultimately result in sepsis, an overwhelming and dangerous systemic response to infection that can be fatal if not treated.

Intussusception in Adults
Untreated intussusception can also have dire consequences in adults. Unlike in children, intussusception in adults is often secondary to another underlying condition, such as an inflammatory disease. If not treated, adults can experience severe complications similar to children, including bowel necrosis, perforation, and peritonitis.
Additionally, untreated bowel obstruction can lead to significant fluid and electrolyte imbalances, which can affect organ function. Chronic obstruction can cause malnutrition due to the inability to properly digest and absorb nutrients. In severe cases, untreated intussusception in adults can also lead to sepsis and multi-organ failure, both of which are potentially fatal without prompt medical treatment.
Available Treatments & Recovery Prospects
Treatment for intussusception typically involves:
- Air or barium enema: In many cases, an air or barium enema can be both diagnostic and therapeutic, successfully reducing intussusception without surgery.
- Surgical intervention: If an enema isn’t successful or the patient is in a severe condition, surgical reduction (manually resectioning the intussuscepted part) is necessary.
- Supportive care: Post-treatment care, including hydration, pain management, and monitoring for recurrence.
Recovery prospects vary depending on the promptness of treatment. Early detection and intervention usually result in favorable outcomes, while delayed treatment can lead to complications such as bowel perforation or infection.
Pursuing Vaccine Injury Compensation Through the Federal Claims Court
If you suspect a vaccination has triggered intussusception, you may be eligible to pursue compensation through the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). To obtain compensation, such as for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and legal costs, you must demonstrate evidence showing a relationship between vaccination and your medical condition. This must indicate that symptoms occurred within a recognized timeframe after immunization. You must also show that the condition was severe, required substantial medical intervention, and was not due to unrelated factors.
Documentation and medical expert testimony is generally needed to support claims. Our firm can assist in preparing your claim, filing it, and representing you throughout the legal process. We offer individualized client care and are well-versed in vaccine injury litigation.
