Rare Phenomena

Background: Traumatic arterio-enteric fistula is predominantly seen after penetrating trauma with only 21 reported cases documented in the past 25 years. They may present in an acute or delayed manner with upper or lower gastrointestinal bleed. A detailed clinical examination with requisite imaging can help in detecting such injuries. Case Description: Case 1: A 20-year-old gentleman, presented with penetrating stab injury to the gluteal region with bleeding per rectum. Imaging revealed evidence of injury to the inferior rectal artery which was found to be communicating with the extraperitoneal portion of the rectum. He was managed with a combination of endovascular and open surgery with a successful outcome. Case 2: A 29-year-old gentleman, presented in a delayed manner 2 weeks after a gunshot wound to the gluteal region, which was managed operatively in another hospital. He developed a massive lower gastrointestinal bleed 2 weeks after presentation. Imaging revealed evidence of a pseudoaneurysm of the inferior gluteal artery which had a fistulous communication with the gastrointestinal tract leading to bleeding. It was managed by endovascular techniques successfully. Conclusion: Arterio-enteric fistulas following trauma are rare phenomena and they need a high index of suspicion for diagnosis. Once diagnosed, they can be managed based on their location and patient physiology by interventional techniques, surgery, or a combination of the two.

Ileal Carcinoid

Carcinoid tumor is the most common neuroendocrine tumor affecting the gastrointestinal tract. The coexistence of multifocal carcinoid lesions is a well-established phenomenon. Although intubation of the terminal ileum is not routinely attempted during colonoscopy, it can occasionally reveal the presence of some incidental findings. We present a patient with known rectal carcinoid, who was found to have another carcinoid lesion in the terminal ileum during surveillance colonoscopy. The patient underwent right hemicolectomy, and no chemotherapy was required as the patient was found to have stage 1 carcinoid tumor.

ABSTRACT Typhoid fever is caused by gram-negative organism Salmonella typhi. The usual presentation is high-grade fever, but complications like gastrointestinal (GI) hemorrhage and perforation are also seen frequently. With the advent of antibiotics, these complications are rarely seen now. We present a case of a young female who was admitted with a diagnosis of typhoid fever presented with a massive GI bleed from ulcers in the terminal ileum and was managed conservatively without endotherapy and surgery.
