A Neonatal Intussusception induced by Congenital Ileal Polyp in a two-day-old male newborn

Congenital intestinal polyp associated with intussusception in a 3-day-old foal

“…Polyps have also been classified based upon the age of the individual affected in man. For example, congenital polyps may be recognised in neonates as early as 2 days of age (Lee et al 1970). These tumours tend to be benign, inflammatory or hyperplastic polyps.…”

“…Congenital and infantile polyps are seen at early ages. The common presenting complaint with these polyps is rectal bleeding (Lee et al 1970;Ein 1976;Ong and Beasley 1990;Chen et al 1998), although intestinal blockage may also occur. Several reports in human neonates attribute intussusception to congenital polyps (Lee et al 1970;Ein 1976;Ong and Beasley 1990;Chen et al 1998).…”
