ABSTRACT

A doença de Dieulafoy é uma patologia rara que se associa a hemorragias digestivas cuja etiologia ainda não é conhecida. A doença policística pode se manifestar em diversos órgãos, sendo o mais comum nos rins e fígado, e tem origem genética. O caso relatado é de um homem de 76 anos com história de anemia tratada com múltiplas transfusões. Ele apresentou episódio de enterorragia antes da admissão, sendo então realizada endoscopia digestiva alta que evidenciou as ectasias vasculares compatíveis com Dieulafoy. Tratado com eletrocoagulação das mesmas. Apresentava história prévia de doença policística hepática. Continuou ambulatorialmente o tratamento com inibidor de bomba de prótons com resultado satisfatório.


Dieulafoys disease is a rare disorder that is associated with gastrointestinal bleeding whose etiology is still unknown. The polycystic disease can manifest in various organs, the most common are kidney and liver and it has genetic origin. The case reported is from a man of 76 years old with a history of anemia treated with multiple transfusions and presented episode of rectal bleeding before admission and underwent endoscopy which showed the vascular ectasia consistent with Dieulafoy and treated with electrocoagulation and had the same story provided polycystic liver disease. Continued outpatient treatment with proton pump inhibitor with satisfactory results.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: En 2001 se introdujo la cápsula endoscópica de Given Imaging® como un método no invasivo que permite realizar enteroscopia total. Recientemente Olympus® desarrolló una cápsula endoscópica para intestino delgado con características diferentes en el sistema óptico, tiempo de carga de batería, tiempo de grabación y descarga de imágenes, además de contar con un sistema que monitorea en tiempo real la localización de la cápsula. Objetivo: Reportar la experiencia inicial con la Endocápsula Olympus® en Venezuela. Pacientes y métodos: De julio a septiembre de 2009 se evaluaron 24 pacientes con sospecha de patología del intestino delgado con este dispositivo. Se registraron datos demográficos, indicación del procedimiento, tiempo de pase gástrico, intestinal, hallazgos y complicaciones. Resultados: 24 pacientes: 11 masculinos y 13 femeninos. Las principales indicaciones fueron: sangrado digestivo oscuro (n=15) y diarrea crónica (n=4). El tiempo gástrico promedio fue de 71,03 + SD minutos y el intestinal de 267,9 + SD minutos. En 1 paciente la cápsula se colocó con el gastroscopio y en 3 no alcanzó el ciego (12,5%). En 11 casos el estudio fue normal (45,83%). Hubo hallazgos positivos en 13 (54,16%): angiectasias (n=6), enfermedad celiaca (n=1), tumor subepitelial ulcerado (n=1), intususcepción (n=1), sangre roja en ileon (n=1), erosiones (n=1), linfangiectasia (n=2). El 84,61% de los hallazgos se relacionaba con la indicación. No hubo complicaciones. Conclusión: La Endoscápsula Olympus® es útil en la evaluación del intestino delgado con un alcance diagnóstico similar al reportado en la literatura para la Cápsula de Given Imaging®. El menor tiempo requerido para cargar la batería, descargar imágenes y el sistema de tiempo real, la convierte en una alternativa para su uso en patología urgente. Estudios prospectivos comparativos son necesarios.


Introduction: In 2001, the Given Imaging® endoscopic capsule was introduced as a noninvasive method that allows total enteroscopy. Olympus® recently developed a small bowel capsule endoscopy with different characteristics in the optical system, battery charging time, recording and image download times, in addition to a system that monitors real-time location of the capsule. Objective: To report the initial experience with Olympus® Endocapsule in Venezuela. Patients and methods: 24 patients with suspected small bowel pathology were evaluated between July and September 2009 using Olympus® Endocapsule. Demographic data, indication for the procedure, gastric time pass, intestinal transit, findings and complications were recorded. Results: 24 patients: 11 male and 13 female. The main indications were obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (n = 15) and chronic diarrhea (n = 4). The average gastric time was 71.03 + SD minutes and intestinal time was 267.9 + SD minutes. In 1 patient the capsule was placed with the gastroscope and in 3 it did not reach the cecum (12.5%). In 11 cases the study was normal (45.83%). There were positive findings in 13 (54.16%) angiectasias (n=6), celiac disease (n=1), subepithelial ulcerated tumor (n=1), intussusception (n 1), red blood in the ileum (n=1), erosions (n=1), lymphangiectasia (n=2). 84.61% of the findings were related to the indication. There were no complications. Conclusion: The Olympus® Endocapsule is useful for diagnosis of small intestine and has a diagnostic yield similar to that reported in the literature for the Given Imaging videocapsule. The shorter time required for charging the battery, download images and the real time system, makes it an alternative for using in emergency conditions. Comparative prospective studies are needed.

ABSTRACT

La videocápsula endoscópica (VCE), se introdujo en Colombia en junio de 2003 como método diagnóstico de las enfermedades del intestino delgado; realizamos un estudio observacional, retrospectivo, descriptivo, con 100 pacientes referidos para la práctica de VCE. Objetivos. Presentar la experiencia clínica de la utilización de la VCE en nuestra población, determinar las indicaciones más frecuentes para el estudio del intestino delgado con VCE en nuestro país, definir las patologías encontradas en el grupo de pacientes estudiados, describir los hallazgos de videocápsula en relación a los síntomas de los pacientes. Metodología. Se realizó un análisis descriptivo de las variables identificadas y estudiadas, se analizó el comportamiento de los datos, se calcularon las medidas de tendencia central y de dispersión de las variables en mención. Resultados. En el 97% de los exámenes la indicación fue el estudio del sangrado digestivo oscuro oculto o manifiesto, la patología diagnosticada con mayor frecuencia fue la patología vascular (angiectasias) del intestino delgado, seguida por las patologías inflamatoria (úlceras), parasitaria y tumoral. Conclusiones. El examen de VCE es de gran ayuda en el estudio del sangrado digestivo oscuro ya sea oculto o manifiesto y debe considerarse en nuestro medio de primera elección luego de la realización de endoscopia digestiva alta con visualización de la segunda porción duodenal (2) y de colonoscopia con ileoscopia (2), si el paciente no presenta síntomas obstructivos.


The VCE was introduced in Colombia in June 2003 as a method to diagnose diseases in the small intestine. We ran comprehensive observations with a series of 100 cases and created a retrospective and descriptive study of patients referred to us for the practice of VCE. Objectives. To present the clinical experience in the use of the VCE in our population. To determine the most frequent findings for the study of the small intestine with VCE in our country. To define the pathologies found in the group of patients studied, describe the video capsule findings in relation to the symptoms. Methodology. We conducted a descriptive analysis of the identified and studied variables, looking at the behaviour of the data the central trend and dispersion of the variables was calculated. Results. In 97% of the cases, the indication was for the study of occult or overt obscure digestive bleeding. The most frequent diagnosed pathology was the vascular pathology (angiectasias) of the small intestine; followed by the inflammatory pathology (ulcers) with tumours and parasite. Conclusion. The video capsule endoscopy exam is of great help in the study of obscure digestive bleeding whether it is occult or overt. It should be considered in our country as the primary choice after the upper digestive endoscopy with visualisation of the second duodenal portion (2) and the colonoscopy with ileoscopy (2) if the patient doesn’t present obstructive symptoms.
