Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST) account for less than 1% of gastrointestinal tumours, whereas Gastrointestinal autonomic nerve tumour (GANT) is a rare variant of gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST) and occurs at an estimated frequency of 1% of all malignant gastrointestinal tumours. We report the case of a 38-year old male which represents the rarity in the incidence of a Gastrointestinal Stromal tumour as well as the occurrence of a gastrointestinal autonomic nerve tumour together in the same patient which presented as a jejunal lump along with a terminal ileocecal intussusception. Multiple GISTs are associated with familial or hereditary syndromes are described only in few case reports whereas multiple sporadic GISTs have been rarely reported. This review aims to report the multiple sporadic occurrence of two types of GISTs as well as discuss highlight the features and prognosis of GANTs as surgeons and gastroenterologists are unaware of the existence of such an entity.

Endoneurial Blood Flow

The blood supply (vasa nervorum) to peripheral nerves is composed of an interconnected dual circulation. The endoneurium of nerve fascicles is maintained by the intrinsic circulation which is composed of microvessels primarily of capillary caliber. Transperineurial arterioles link the intrinsic circulation with the extrinsic arterial supply located in the epineurium. Blood flow in the vasa nervorum is neurogenically influenced (1,2). Although a recent hypothesis proposes that endoneurial blood flow is controlled by the action of autonomic nerve fibers associated with epineurial arterioles (2), our recent studies (3) show that in addition to epineurial arterioles other segments of the vasa nervorum are also innervated. In this study, we examine blood vessels of the endoneurium for possible innervation.
