Barium enema can be therapeutic in intussusception.
Barium enema is only diagnostic and cannot be therapeutic in intussusception.
Barium enema can be used to diagnose intussusception as it shows the typical 'coil spring' or 'crescent sign' appearance on imaging. Moreover, the pressure of the barium can sometimes reduce the intussusception, especially in pediatric cases, making this procedure both diagnostic and therapeutic. However, if the intussusception is not reduced by the barium enema or if there are signs of perforation or ischemia, surgical intervention is required.
