Abstract

A girl, 11 years of age, presented with progressive abdominal pain and emesis after eating since 9 months. Her blood count only showed an iron deficiency anaemia. Diagnostic work-up suggested an ileo-ileal intussusception caused by a pedunculated polyp. Diagnosis was confirmed by laparoscopic-assisted resection of the involved small bowel.
