[The value of diagnostic endoscopy in the treatment of intestinal polyps in the child].
The polyps of the digestive tract, with the exception of the juvenile ones, are not often found in children. Out of 762 endoscopies paediatric patients carried out, 31 were seen to be affected by digestive polyps, of which 16 were juvenile. The rest belonged to other types, among which 5 adenomas are included. In this paper, clinical aspects are analysed, pointing out also the value of the endoscopy as choice method not only for diagnosis but also for treatment of polyps.
