An intussusception is a situation in which a part of the intestine has prolapsed into another section of intestine, similar to the way in which the parts of a collapsible telescope slide into one another. The part which prolapses into the other is called the intussusceptum, the part which receives it is called the intussuscipiens, and the cause of the condition is called the intussusceptor. Substances that work as intussusceptors are called intussusceptives.
