RESUMEN
La enteritis actínica es una entidad producida por la afectaciónde las células intestinales como consecuencia del tratamiento radioterápicode tumores abdomino-ginecológicos, que en ocasionespuede causar áreas estenóticas.Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 60 años, diagnosticadadiez años antes de adenocarcinoma de endometrio, que fue tratadacon resección intestinal y radioterapia abdomino-pélvica. Lapaciente acudió por dolor abdominal y anemia ferropénica deaños de evolución, con técnicas radiológicas y endoscópicas convencionalesnegativas. La realización de una capsuloendoscopiareveló la presencia de una estenosis ileal ulcerada, que causó la retenciónasintomática de la cápsula en íleon. Se indicó de formaelectiva la realización de una laparotomía con resección del segmentoestenótico y extracción de la cápsula, confirmándose histológicamentela sospecha capsuloendoscópica de enteritis actínica.Este caso ilustra el papel que la capsuloendoscopia puede jugaren esta entidad de difícil diagnóstico
ABSTRACT
Radiation enteritis is a complex clinical entity secondary to theaffectation of intestinal epithelial cells as a result of radiation in themanagement of pelvic malignancies that may occasionally causeintestinal strictures.We present the case of a 60 year-old woman who had been diagnosedten years before with endometrial adenocarcinoma, andwho underwent hysterectomy with double adnexectomy and subsequentradiation therapy. The patient consulted for abdominalpain and ferropenic anemia of several years’ standing, and hadnegative results following radiographic and endoscopic conventionaltechniques, reason why she was subjected to a capsule endoscopystudy that revealed the presence of an ulcerated ilealstricture, which caused the asymptomatic retention of the capsulewithin the ileum. A laparotomy was subsequently performed – thestrictured segment was resected and the capsule retrieved. Thehistologic examination of the resected segment confirmed thecapsule endoscopy-raised suspicion of radiation enteritis. Thiscase shows the role capsule endoscopy may play in the diagnosisof this condition
