Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A boy with generalised infantile polyposis syndrome is reported to highlight the difficulties in management. Despite attempts to reduce polyp mass by regular endoscopic polypectomy, daily transfusions of blood products, and a trial of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent sulindac, his condition gradually deteriorated and he died of septicaemia. |
