  • Title: Multiple surgical interventions due to recurrent intussusception in a patient with henoch-schönlein purpura: a case report.
    Author: Zmora O, Shin CE.
    Journal: Eur J Pediatr Surg; 2008 Oct; 18(5):340-1. PubMed ID: 18629766.
    Abstract:
    Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms in Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) are common and occur in about two-thirds of patients. Surgical complications, while uncommon, are potentially severe. The preoperative diagnosis is based mainly on a high index of suspicion leading to imaging studies that may include abdominal sonography. We describe here the first case of a patient who developed recurrent intussusception attributed to HSP that led to repeated surgical interventions.
