Reduction of Small Bowel Instussuception Caused by Jejunal Hamartomatous Polyps Documented by Intraoperative Video.
We present a case of non-Peutz Jegher hamartomatous polyps causing jejuno-jejunal intussusception and small bowel obstruction in a pediatric patient. In addition, we also provide an intraoperative video of the intussusception reduction process. Polyps causing small bowel intussusception are uncommon but not rare. However, we could not find in the medical literature any videos of the intussusception reduction process. We feel this case report, the discussion provided, and the intraoperative video correlation will offer a unique educational perspective to this disease entity. In addition, this case report will also show the importance of considering small bowel intussusception in the differential of a child who presents with vague but persistent abdominal symptoms.
