- Abstract
Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome (PJS) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder which is characterized by hyperpigmentation in mucocutaneous membranes and hamartomatous polyps in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Common complications reported in patients with PSJ are bleeding and mechanical intestinal obstruction due to the hamartomatous polyps. There is also an increased risk of gastrointestinal and extra-intestinal malignancies in patients with PJS. A 28-year-old female patient was admitted to the emergency service with complaints of abdominal pain and vomiting. In addition to distention and tenderness on abdominal examination, revealed hyperpigmented lesions on her lips. An abdominal examination did not reveal any scar from the previous abdominal operation. The patient with suspected mechanical intestinal obstruction at pre-diagnosis demonstrated intussusception in the distal jejunal loops on abdominal tomography. In the diagnostic laparoscopy observed intussusception in jejunal loops. After a minimal suprapubic incision, small intestine loops were checked through alexis with bidigital palpation and no other intraluminal mass were detected. Laparoscopy-assisted jejunojejunal resection and anastomosis was performed for the intussusception segment, where the polyb is located. It has been recommended that endoscopic polyps removal should be performed to avoid multiple surgical resections, which lead to short bowel syndrome. It has been recommended that endoscopic polyps removal should be performed to avoid multiple surgical resections, which lead to short bowel syndrome. By the nature of the disease, there may be multiple polyps simultaneously in the GIT and the associated risk of recurrent intussusception attacks in patients with PJS. To prevent short bowel syndrome and intra-abdominal adhesions due to repeated, laparotomies treatment with combined endoscopy and laparoscopic/laparoscopy-assisted surgery should be preferred in patients with PJS.
