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.
