Symptomatic Meckel's diverticulum is an uncommon diagnosis in adults, and bleeding Meckel's diverticulum after childhood is even more infrequent. We present herein the case of a 22-year-old man with gastrointestinal hemorrhage secondary to Meckel's diverticulum containing ectopic gastric mucosa. As the source of bleeding could not be identified by upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopy and ...

We have conducted endoscopic examination in 5 cases of postoperative pancreatic fistula, and discuss its clinical significance. The examination provided not only an observation of the fistula but also opportunity to irrigate the fistula for removal of foreign substances. The biopsy permitted histological examination for necrotic substances and the fistulous wall. Endoscopy made it easy to intro...

introduction: chronic nasal obstruction due to adenoid hypertrophy is a very common disorder. although the clinical assessment of adenoid hypertrophy is essential, its real value in young children is difficult to evaluate. the purpose of this prospective study was to validate a simple clinical score to predict the severity of adenoid obstruction and to evaluate the relationship between this met...

gastrointestinal tract, although other Bcell-derived non-Hodgkin lymphoma often occurs there. According to previous reports, gastrointestinal spread of mantle cell lymphoma frequently involves the colorectum and stomach; reports of small-intestinal involvement are rare. Consistent with preceding reports [1–3], the endoscopic appearance of colorectal and small-intestinal spread of mantle cell ly...

Small cell carcinoma (SmC) of the esophagus is rare, and is sometimes impossible to detect by macroscopic inspection using an endoscope or histological examination of biopsied specimens. A 73-year-old man received F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) to evaluate the response to radiofrequency thermal ablation therapy for lung cancer. FDG-PET showed abnormal accumulatio...

Blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome is a sporadic disease with widely distributed dark blue papules and nodules and soft skin-colored compressible protuberances (rubber blebs) as well as large vascular malformations. Gasterointestinal lesions are documented by upper endoscopy and colonoscopy; hemorrhages from these lesions create irondeficinecy anemia. Other sites of visceral involvement are less c...

OBJECTIVE To report the value of nasal endoscopy as an outpatient procedure in the diagnosis of posterior nasal obstruction. METHODS Over one year period, from March 2002 to March 2003, we evaluated 130 adult patients that attended the Ear, Nose and Throat Department of Sohag University Hospital in Egypt with persistent nasal obstruction via anterior rhinoscopy and flexible nasopharyngoscopy....

The present experiment evaluated the quality of macroscopic images and the mean time of capsule passage through different sections of the gastrointestinal tract in dogs subjected to different preparation protocols before capsule endoscopy. In the first examination, the colonoscopy prepara- tion protocol was applied, and in the second examination, the animals were administered macrogol. The stud...
