Intramuscular glucagon was used in 2 patients with ileocolic intussusception when standard therapeutic barium enema reduction failed. Reduction was accomplished following administration of glucagon and a repeat barium enema. Use of the two methods together may improve the success rate of nonoperative reduction of intussusception.
