Jejunal diverticulosis is a rare gastrointestinal condition manifested as benign outpouching from the jejunal wall. It is usually asymptomatic, but may present as obscure gastrointestinal bleeding. This condition is often found incidentally in the imaging work-up of patients with other gastrointestinal conditions. We present a case of jejunal diverticulosis in a 65-year-old gentleman with obscu...

INTRODUCTION Perforations of jejunal diverticula are uncommon and repeated symptomatic perforations have been reported only twice before in the literature. This is the first case report of recurrent perforation of a jejunal diverticulum to be successfully managed non-operatively. CASE PRESENTATION We report a recurrent perforation of a jejunal diverticulum in an 87-year-old Caucasian man who ...

The cascade stomach (CS) is characterized as a changing of the gastric cavity to “hour glass" two chambers formation. disease well presented in gastroenterological and radiological literature. In case failure conservative treatment, surgery indicated. Unfortunately, information operative treatment this condition limited. We present CS successfully treated by creation gastro-jejunal jejuno-jejun...

BACKGROUND/AIMS To investigate if restoration of esophago-intestinal or esophago-gastric continuity with a jejunal pouch after total or proximal gastrectomy has clinical benefits. METHODS We reviewed all relevant reports published after 1990 that dealt with the clinical results of reconstruction with a jejunal pouch after total and proximal gastrectomies and correlated those findings with res...

OBJECTIVE Head-to-head comparison of the success rate of jejunal placement of a new electromagnetically visualized jejunal tube with that of the endoscopic technique in critically ill patients. DESIGN : Prospective, randomized clinical trial. SETTING Two intensive care units at a university hospital. PATIENTS : A total of 66 critically ill patients not tolerating intragastric nutrition. ...

in this paper, two patients with severe dysphagia and esophageal stricture secondary to epidermolysis bullosa are presented and discussed. they are siblings of an affected family. primary resection and anastomosis had been performed previously in both patients, but dysphagia had recurred. we treated these patients with free jejunal graft to the esophagus with excellent results. both patients ar...

Current evidence suggests that there are three sphincters that regulate the flow of chyme from stomach to the duodenum. We investigated the hypothesis whether a fourth 'physiologic sphincter' exists at the duodeno-jejunal junction. The pressure response of the jejunum, duodeno-jejunal junction and duodenum to individual balloon distension of the jejunum and duodenum was recorded in 28 healthy s...

Immunoglobulin-containing plasma cell densities in the jejunal mucosa and serum and jejunal fluid immunoglobulins have been measured in patients with adult coeliac disease and dermatitis herpetiformis with and without jejunal mucosal abnormality. Studies were performed in patients before and after treatment of the jejunal lesion.Total immunofluorescent plasma cells were increased in untreated a...
