Abstract: | We report the case of a 45-year-old woman with an intussusception of the small bowel due to Peutz-Jeghers syndrome. Immediate laparotomy was performed, and approximately 5 cm of the small bowel had to be removed because of ischemic areas. Six other polyps were removed through buttonhole enterotomies. The Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is rare. Treatment is either surgery or a combination of surgery and intraoperative enteroscopy. Bowel resections must be kept to a minimum. |
