There are publications on the association of celiac disease with intussusception and intestinal obstruction in adults. Although intussusception is the most common cause of intestinal obstruction in children, it is rarely considered in association with celiac disease. The article presents clinical cases of a rare manifestation of celiac disease with acute surgical pathology – acute intestinal obstruction due to the intestinal intussusception and obstruction. Children with intussusception with non-established etiology should be examined for celiac disease, especially when they have the appropriate symptoms – growth retardation, anemia, bloating, increased transaminase levels and other manifestations of celiac disease, and in case the child’s age is not entirely characteristic of the intussusception.
