Abstract
|
|
|
|
Colorectal polyps in children are one of the most common causes of painless and recurrent intestinal bleeding in this age group. But juvenile polyp in the transverse colon is rare. A child with colo-colic intussusceptions caused by juvenile polyp is very rare because the descending colon lies fixed in the retroperitoneal position. Most of the cases were older than 6 years and particulary the case in a child younger than 3 years is rare. In this case study, we report a rare case of 3-year-old boy with juvenile polyp in transverse colon manifested by intussusception.
