Clinical Presentations and Surgical Approach of Acute Intussusception Caused by Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome in Adults
2011
Introduction
Peutz–Jeghers syndrome is a rare autosomal dominantly inherited disease characterized by mucocutaneous pigmentations and gastrointestinal polyps. The polyps are located predominantly in the small intestine and usually cause intussusceptions. Adult intussusception caused by Peutz–Jeghers syndrome occurs very rarely. The purpose of this study was to analyze the clinical characteristics, preoperative diagnosis, and surgical management of Peutz–Jeghers syndrome associated with acute intussusception in adult patients.
