Intussusception, which is seen rarely in adults, is defined as the pulling or invagination of a part of the intestine into another segment of the intestine. In this case report we present chronic retrograde jejunojejunal intussusception following gastric surgery with Braun’s anastomosis in adult with video presentation. A 66-year-old woman, who had undergone gastric surgery 39 years ago and cholecystectomy 20 years ago, was admitted to our clinic with the complaints about weight loss, abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (UGISE) was applied, and patient was treated with surgery. This case report indicates that intussusception should be considered in the presence of clinical complaints following gastric surgery, as well as importance of endoscopy in diagnosis.

Duodenal neuroendocrine tumor (NET) is a rare solitary lesion arising from the mucosa and submucosa of the duodenum, which is found incidentally during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Eendoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR) has been the commonly used endoscopic procedure for duodenal carcinoid tumors, but the conventional EMR done to resect duodenal NET s is likely to have positive vertical margins. However, the ligation assisted EMR has recently been shown to be a promising technique for the treatment of duodenal NET that can have a negative free margin. In our study, we present a patient of 51-year-old male, who presented with pain over epigastrium and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a small submucosal lesion of 10 mm in the duodenal bulb. The endoscopic ultrasound showed the lesion arising from the echo layer three. The biopsy was taken which showed the duodenal NET. The computed tomography of abdomen did not show any evidence of distant metastasis. The EMR of duodenal NET was done by band ligation technique. The biopsy from the resected duodenal lesion confirmed the duodenal NET with the margin free of the tumor. The patient was followed at 6, 12, 18 and 24 months. During the follow up visits, the repeat upper gastrointestinal endoscopy did not show recurrence of the lesion and there was no any evidence of distant metastasis either. Ligation assisted EMR is an acceptable treatment in the hands of expert for small duodenal NET without the evidence of metastasis and can ensure the complete removal of the lesion with vertical free margin.

ABSTRACT: CONTEXT: Intussusception is a common cause of acute intestinal obstruction in the pediatric population and it is normally idiopathic. Rare cases of chronic intussusception require investigation with greater attention. CASE REPORT: We present a clinical case of a three-year-old boy with aqueous diarrhea, abdominal distension, vomiting and weight loss over a two-month period. During the investigation, abdominal ultrasound showed imaging of intussusception. The intraoperative findings showed the intussusception had resolved spontaneously. In further investigation, it was found that the diarrhea was malabsorptive and, after the patient underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, a diagnosis of celiac disease was made. After a gluten-free diet was introduced, the patient showed complete remission of symptoms and regained weight, and normal growth was reestablished. CONCLUSION: If the clinical presentation of intussusception is unusual, etiological investigation should be undertaken. In this case report, celiac disease was the underlying cause.

Phytobezoar is a gastric foreign body formed due to accumulation of ingested fruits and/or vegetables. Patients usually have a predisposing condition leading to alteration in gastric emptying. Altered gastric emptying leads to stagnation and amalgamation of the ingested vegetables or fruits. This condition can be easily diagnosed with upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Management is medical if the size is small. Larger phytobezoars need endoscopic therapy. In this case report, we describe a case of phytobezoar in a middle aged lady with no known risk factor. She was managed successfully by therapeutic endoscopy.

AbstractGastric neuroendocrine tumor (gNET) is a rare carcinoid of the stomach whose incidence is increasing due to widespread use of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (UGIE). There are four types of gNETs with different management strategies and prognosis. Here, we present a patient who came with abdomen pain and intermittent melena. UGIE showed a sessile polyp in the stomach. The patient subsequently underwent polypectomy and was symptomatically relieved.

Duodenal gangliocytic paraganglioma (DGP) is a rare tumor that characteristically occurs in the second part of duodenum. These appear as submucosal masses that protrude into the lumen of a duodenum. Gastrointestinal bleeding is the commonest manifestation of DGP. Metastatic spread to regional lymph nodes occurs rarely. Surgical resection is the treatment of choice for DGP. A case of a DGP is reported in young female who presented with a recurrent upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (UGIE) documented a mass in the ampullary region with ulceration in its middle which was bleeding. Recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding necessitated an emergency pancreaticoduodenectomy. Histopathology of specimen documented gangliocytic paraganglioma.
