title: Differential diagnosis of double site intussusception in childhood: a 15-year-old girl presenting with bowel obstruction.
abstract: Abdominal pain in a teenage girl is common; however, thorough history and examination can often distinguish a more rare or sinister diagnosis. We present a case of a 15-year-old girl presenting with abdominal pain, who was subsequently diagnosed with double intussusception secondary to her previously unrecognised Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS).
