Unusual ultrasound appearance of small bowel intussusception and secondary bowel obstruction in a child with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome

This case emphasizes unique, atypical ultrasound findings that may be encountered in small bowel intussusception, with correlative radiographic, CT (computed tomography) and intra-operative findings. Increased awareness of these atypical imaging features can lead to early diagnosis and decrease the risk of potential complications including mesenteric venous thrombosis, bowel ischemia and necrosis.
