Abstract

Recurrent intussusception is one of the common modes of presentation in patients with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome. This report presents a case of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome with synchronous duodenojejunal and jejunojejunal intussusceptions due to hamartomatous polyps. Very few cases of duodenojejunal intussusception in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome patients have so far been reported in the literature.
