Abstract:

Peutz Jeghers syndrome is characterized by mucocutaneous hyperpigmentation and gastrointestinal polyps leading to gastrointestinal bleeding and obstruction. Larger polyps can lead to intestinal intussusception. We report a case of 38 years old male presenting to the Emergency Department of Lady Reading Hospital Peshawar, with jejuno jejunal double intussusception.
