“…The results have been somewhat mixed. Kurugoglu et al [36] compared barium follow through with ultrasound and MRE and found that polyps were detected equally with contrast studies and MRE. Caspari et al [37] compared VCE with MRE and observed that VCE was superior at detecting small polyps.…”

The two main problems in the management of the gastrointestinal tract in patients with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) are the long term cancer risk and managing polyp related complications, such as intussusception and bleeding. In this article we will focus mainly on the clinical management of these problems. We will highlight some of the controversies regarding gastrointestinal PJS polyps, cancer development and cancer risk. We will review the available literature, particularly focusing on clinical data, to provide insights into these controversies. We describe guidelines for the surveillance and management of gastrointestinal polyps in PJS and review the data behind current recommendations.

“…Metastatic malignant melanomas are also among the causes of invagination. 7,8 Included among non-tumor causes are, appendix granuloma, Meckel's diverticula, parasites, amebic dysentery, and typhoid fever. 3 Besides, "postoperative idiopathic invagination" can be observed in 2-3% of laparotomies.…”

“…11 Other methods which can be useful for the exact diagnosis are colonoscopy and magnetic resonance (MR) examination. 7,11,18 During recent years, cases diagnosed and treated by endoscopy, colonoscopy and laparoscopy have been reported. 19 Findings of bowel obstruction were determined in all our subjects by direct X-ray graphics.…”

Background/Aims: Intussusception in adults is rarely seen and causes misdiagnosis due to its appearance with various clinical findings. The cause of intussusception in adults is frequently organic lesions. In this study, the underlying etiologic factors, diagnostic methods and alternative methods of treatment are discussed in the light of the literature. Methods: In this study, a retrospective evaluation was performed on 47 cases with the diagnoses of intussusception, who were operated on for bowel obstruction between 1990-2011 in Department of Surgery of Necmettin Erbakan University Meram Medical Faculty. Data related to presentation, diagnosis, treatment and pathology were analyzed. Results: Twenty-four of the patients (51%) were female, and 23 were male (49%). Mean age (year) was 49 (range: 23-78) in female group, and 50 (range: 17-72) in male group. All patients presented mechanical bowel obstruction findings and underwent operation. Intussusception was caused by benign and malignant tumors in 38 patients, and other reasons in 3 cases. No reason could be determined in the other 6 cases. Only small intestine resection was applied in 29 cases, and large intestine resection was also applied in 17 cases. Reduction and fixation surgery was performed in one patient. No postoperative mortality was observed. Conclusions: Adult intussusception remains a rare cause of abdominal pain. Diagnosis of intussusception in adults is still difficult. Main treatment was surgical in most cases. (Korean J Gastroenterol 2013;61:17-21)
