Juvenile Colorectal Polyposis in Children: About a Clinical Case

Abstract

Juvenile polyposis syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant hereditary disease characterized by the presence of several juvenile polyps in the gastrointestinal tract. This disease predisposes to colorectal cancer, hence the importance of an early detection and a rigorous endoscopic screening [1]. We report the case of a juvenile colorectal polyposis in a 16 years old child revealed by a chronic rectal bleeding.
