Intussusception may be classified into several subtypes based on location and etiology. According to location of intussusception it is classified into subtypes:- Ileocolic, Ileo-ileo-colic, Jejuno-jejunal, Jejuno-ileal, and Colo-colic. According to etiology of intussusception it is classified into :- idiopathic or lead point(pathologic) types.
