Ectopic gastric mucosa in a polyp causing ileo-ileal intussusception: a case report of a three-month-old baby

Eur J Pediatr Surg. 1991 Apr;1(2):118-20. doi: 10.1055/s-2008-1042472.

Abstract

Ectopic gastric mucosa in the small bowel not associated with Meckel's diverticulum, is rare. Most of the few cases found in the literature are symptomatic and complicated. We report a case of a three month-old baby, the youngest patient reported thus far. He had ectopic gastric mucosa in a polypoid lesion of the mid-ileum, which caused ileo-ileal intussusception.
