Capsule endoscopy is a noninvasive diagnostic method used in various gastrointestinal diseases such as Crohn’s disease and celiac disease. Immunoproliferative small-intestinal disease (IPSID) is a proliferative disorder of IgA-producing B lymphocytes [1]. IPSID has been characterized by the loss of the mucosal circular folds, a thickened, cobblestone appearance of the mucosa, and multiple sessi...

A 78-year-old patient without relevant past medical history underwent colonoscopy for chronic diarrhea. Examination identified a laterally spreading tumor (LST), mixed-granular-type (nodules up to 1 cm) in the rectum, from the pectin line to the rectosigmoid transition. The LST covered 100% of the circumference of this segment (▶Fig. 1). Endoscopic evaluation was compatible with an adenomatous ...

The case of a 29-year-old HIV positive male patient suffering from a Kaposi's sarcoma exclusively located in the proximal third of the trachea and subglottic region is presented. The patient was found to have included an obstruction of the upper airway. A characteristic endoscopic appearance led to the final diagnosis.

We present a rare case of stomach trichobezoar complicated with iatrogenic intussusception noted intra-operatively after failed attempt of endoscopic removal in a 13-year-old girl. At presentation, she had gastric outlet obstruction with anaemia. Endoscopy established the diagnosis of trichobezoar. Surgical removal was warranted after failed endoscopic removal. Her postoperative course was unev...

Chromoendoscopy pertains to image-enhanced endoscopic techniques such as dye-based chromoendoscopy and electronic chromoendoscopy using narrow-band imaging, flexible spectral imaging color enhancement, and i-scan. Dye-based chromoendoscopy has been demonstrated to improve colorectal dysplasia detection in high-risk patients with long-term inflammatory bowel disease, and electronic chromoendosco...

An 85-year-old female was diagnosed with cerebellar hemorrhage based on computed tomography (Figure A). She underwent a craniotomy to remove the hematoma.

Definitive intervention may be necessary requiring endoscopic or open laryngeal surgery. Some of the more com...

A 64 year old man was admitted to hospital due to dyspnoea and stridor. A peduncular polyp of the carina was found at bronchoscopy. Histological examination of the tumour after resection with endoscopic electronsurgery revealed malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) of myxoid type. With endoscopic neodymiumyttrium aluminium garnet (Nd-YAG) laser surgery, residual tumour was eliminated. To our kno...
