Abstract
Patients suffering Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) have had to undergo frequent laparotomies because of intestinal obstruction by small intestinal hamartomatous polyps. Double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) is now a useful device for the treatment of small intestinal polyps in adults. Here we report a successful use of DBE in the case of small intestinal polypectomy performed on an 11-year-old child with PJS, and do not expect her to have to undergo laparotomies. doi:10.4021/jmc309w
