Intussusception in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome: sonographic findings

H Naganuma et al. Abdom Imaging. 1999 Jul-Aug.

Abstract

An intussusception can easily occur in patients with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS), and its early detection is crucial. We present a PJS patient in whom sonography (US) helped in detecting intussusception at a time when there was only a very vague symptom and provided successful conservative treatment. Close clinical and US follow-up of PJS patients should improve management of this condition.
