Intestinal Polyposis in Children [Article in English]
This is a brief review of Intestinal polyposis in children. Three Intestinal polyposis syndromes are described in some detail, along with procedures for diagnosing and treatment and follow up of patients. In this paper the importance of diagnosing inherited polyposis syndromes is emphasized such as Familial adenomatous polyposis, Peutz-Jeghers syndrome and Juvenile polyposis syndrome.
