Peutz–Jeghers syndrome in capsule endoscopy and balloon enteroscopy
- Peutz–Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is a rare autosomal-dominant inherited disorder characterized by gastrointestinal hamartomas, mucocutaneous pigmentation, and an elevated cancer risk. Moreover, intussusception risk may be as high as 50% at the age of 20 years and is caused by large polyps. There is some evidence that endoscopic surveillance of PJS patients with removal of small intestinal polyps with a diameter of more than 15 mm efficiently prevents intussusceptions. In recent years, capsule endoscopy (CE) has largely replaced small-bowel radiography techniques to screen for small-bowel polyps. Magnetic resonance imaging may be equally efficient as CE for screening of large polyps. Balloon enteroscopy may be used for endoscopic snare resection of polyps.
