Magnifying image-enhanced endoscopy for collagenous colitis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background and study aims We report a case series of 5 patients with collagenous colitis (CC) presenting with chronic watery diarrhea, who were subjected to magnifying, chromoendoscopy and narrow band imaging (NBI). Magnifying chromoendoscopy revealed whitish-clouded, honeycomb-like appearance at orifices of the crypts. NBI with high magnification revealed irregular caliber variation of the subepithelial capillary network. Presence of these features corresponded with histological characteristics of CC indicated by thickening of the subepithelial collagen layer. We concluded that magnifying image-enhanced endoscopy is a reliable tool to diagnose CC.

Application and Efficacy of Super-Magnifying Endoscopy for the Lower Intestinal Tract.
Endoscopy plays a significant role in the diagnosis, management, and surveillance of colorectal cancer (CRC) and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). Moreover, magnifying endoscopy and image-enhanced endoscopy has a crucial role in the clinical setting. Recently, a super-magnifying endoscope has been developed, and two devices, confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) and an endocytoscopy system (ECS...

A 70-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for treatment of a laterally-spreading tumor (LST) of 40mm diameter, located in the ascending colon. The woman also had chronic renal failure. Before endoscopic treatment, magnifying endoscopy and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) was scheduled to allow a more precise diagnosis. Initially, chromoendoscopy with indigocarmine, magnifying endoscopy with c...

BACKGROUND The diagnostic yield in open access endoscopy has been evaluated which generally support the effectiveness and efficiency of open access endoscopy. With a few exceptions, diagnostic yield studies have not been performed in open access endoscopy for more specific conditions. Therefore, we conducted a study to determine the efficiency of open access endoscopy in the detection of micros...

copathologic entity characterized by chronic watery diarrhea and, histologically, by the subepithelial deposition of collagen [1,2]. Some luminal antigens, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), particularly lansoprazole, are thought to contribute to the development of collagenous colitis. On endoscopy, collagenous colitis usually shows no orm...
