Vascular malformation of ileum

Abstract

The aim of the study is to observe a patient with vascular malformation of the ileum complicated by recurrent bleeding. Materials and methods: the article presents a clinical case of small intestine bleeding from ileum angiectasia in a 64-year-old patient. At the patient's place of residence, a video capsule endoscopy of the gastrointestinal tract was performed, angiectasia of the ileum was detected, from which fresh blood was received. Upon admission, the patient has iron deficiency anemia, and hematocheesia. In our institution, the patient underwent diagnostic egophagogastroduodenoscopy, video colonoscopy, balloon-assisted enteroscopy (BAE). According to BAE, vascular malformation with a diameter of up to 10 mm is viuzalized in the ileum Results: The patient underwent endoscopic treatment: one endoclypse was applied to the identified vascular malformation. Conclusion: The capabilities of clinicians in the differential diagnosis of pathological conditions of the small intestine are enhanced by the availability of modern equipment in medical and preventive institutions, as well as to perform minimally invasive treatment, reducing the rehabilitation time due to the reduction of surgical trauma.
