Abstract
Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is a rare but potentially life threating
syndrome. We report here the case of a young girl who presented
recurrent small bowel intussusceptions. Laparotomy exploration showed
many jejunal polyps leading to jejunojejunal intussusceptions. These
were removed via mini enterotomies and pathological examination
concluded to Peutz-Jeghers polyps.15 Mar 2022Submitted to Clinical Case Reports 17 Mar 2022Submission Checks Completed
