Isi artikel

Overt gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is defined as visible GI bleeding (melena and hematochezia) and can be categorized further as active versus inactive bleeding. Endoscopy is routinely used to find the cause of bleeding, but small bowel has been largely inaccessible by this conventional endoscopy. Video capsule endoscopy (VCE) is one of methods that can reach the small bowel. We report a 45-year old woman with recurrent hematochezia. She had previous hematochezia 4 years ago, but no definite diagnosis was concluded. We performed esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) and colonoscopy. We found gastritis and colonic diverticulosis, but no site of active bleeding. Video capsule endoscopy showed no source of bleeding in the small bowel.
