Two cases of recurrent acute intussception in a 11 month old female and a 7 month old male infants who had experienced 8 recurrences were presented. Surgical correction was performed in both cases, followed by 6 recurrences in case I and no recurrence in case I, and no definite etiologic factors, except movable cecum in case I and mesenteric lymphadenopathies in both cases were found.
