ABSTRACT
Obscure gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is a diagnostic challenge, because interaction between endoscopic and radiological methods are required. After ruling out gastro-colonic causes, we should search for small bowel vascular lesions, inflammatory disorders and malignant lesions that may cause two types of obscure GI bleeding obscure-occult and obscure-overt bleeding. The prupose of the present review is to analyze the results of these techniques and to make recommendations regarding management and treatment of this disease.
RESUMEN
La hemorragia digestiva de origen oscuro representa un desafío diagnóstico, donde es importante el complemento entre métodos endoscópicos y radiológicos. Luego de descartar causas gastro-colónicas, el estudio se centra en la búsqueda de lesiones vasculares, inflamatorias, tumorales, que provocan el sangrado de origen oscuro, ya sea oculto o evidente. En esta revisión se analizan los resultados de estas técnicas y se proponen algunas conductas en el enfrentamiento de esta patología.
