Diffuse juvenile polyposis causing recurrent small bowel intussusception
Intussusception is a common cause of infantile bowel obstruction. The majority of patients (75%) present before the age of 2 years and have no identifiable lead point. A pathological lead point (PLP) causes secondary intussusception, with an incidence of 4–20%. Recurrent intussusception is a well-de...
