ILEAL INTESTINAL DUPLICATION, COMPLICATED BY RECURRENT INTESTINAL BLEEDING AND INTESTINAL OBSTRUCTION. CLINICAL OBSERVATION

Intestinal Amyloidosis Complicated with Hemorrhage and Intestinal Pseudo- Obstruction

We presented a case of A 54 year old Hispanic male with recurrent episodes of abdominal distension and up to three previous hospitalizations with a diagnosis of partial bowel obstruction that resolved with conservative management. The physical examination revealed overweight (BMI= 28 Kg/m2). A colonoscopy was performed with the discovery of three hyperplastic polyps, and barium small bowel radi...

Adult Ileo-Ileal Intussusception Caused by Intestinal Lipoma

Electromyographic Observation of Intestinal Movement during Intestinal Obstruction.

Narrowing of the intestinal lumen and a circulatory disturbance are the two basic factors involved in intestinal obstruction. This paper analyzes the effect of each of these factors upon the motility of the canine intestine by means of electromyography during experimentally induced mechanical obstruction and vascular occlusion. EMG in simple mechanical obstruction is characterized by an increas...

Enterovesical fistula and intestinal obstruction by ileal endometriosis.

Endometriosis is one of the most common gynecological diseases, is characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity in women of reproductive age or perimenopausal. Endometriosis “infiltrative in depth” is defined as one that penetrates more than 5 mm in the affected tissue, occurs in one third of all cases and is usually located in pelvic structures. At ileum is ve...

Recurrent Obscure Gastrointestinal Bleeding: Intestinal Lymphangiohemangioma

Obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB) is thought to be a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for the clinicians and radiologists. A 46-year-old woman complaining of intermittent melena for 3 months was admitted. After extensive investigations, a vascular lesion located in the ileum, diagnosed as intestinal lymphangiohemangioma pathologically, was found by CT angiography (CTA) and selective ...
