Prograde and retrograde intussusception: A rarity in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome.
A 30-year-old woman presented with subacute intestinal obstruction. Clinical evaluation and radiological studies pointed toward an enteroenteric intussusception with intestinal polyps. Exploratory laparotomy revealed a retrograde intussusception mass acting as a lead point for a second prograde jejuno-jejunal intussusception. Resection and anastomosis of the involved segment was done. Histopathology revealed the presence of hamartomas. The patient was diagnosed with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome. The rarity of such a case is highlighted, and the diagnostic challenge it poses is discussed.
