Jejunojejunal intussusceptions are not common in adults and unlike in children, a lead point is usually found. The clinical presentation in adults tends to be more chronic or intermittent and include abdominal pain, obstructive symptoms, gastrointestinal bleeding or palpable mass. These unspecific symptoms often lead to a late diagnosis. The clinical picture is subtle and diagnosis is therefore elusive. We report a case of jejunojejunal intussusception secondary to gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) in a 50 year old female.

Article Synopsis
- Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is a rare genetic disorder that causes gastrointestinal polyps and skin pigmentation, leading to complications like abdominal pain and intestinal obstruction from intussusception.
- A case study details a 36-year-old woman with symptoms such as flank pain and melena, who was diagnosed with PJS after imaging and surgery revealed jejuno-jejunal intussusception and multiple polyps.
- PJS stems from mutations in the STK11 gene, and regular screenings are vital for detecting cancer and monitoring polyp growth, with surgical intervention recommended for significant polyps and intussusception cases.

Article Synopsis
- - The case discusses a 7-year-old girl diagnosed with Rapunzel syndrome, a rare condition related to hair ingestion, leading to a gastrointestinal blockage called trichobezoar, which was initially difficult to diagnose.
- - Successful surgery was performed to remove the blockage, but the patient experienced complications like jejunojejunal intussusception after the procedure, underscoring the importance of ongoing medical attention and mental health evaluations.
- - The case highlights the link between psychiatric disorders, specifically trichotillomania and trichophagia, and the formation of trichobezoars, suggesting that both immediate post-surgical care and long-term psychiatric support are crucial for improving outcomes and preventing further gastrointestinal issues. *
