Escleroterapia endoscópica en hemangioma de intestino delgado. Reporte de un caso

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: Hemangiomas of the small bowel are an uncommon and difficult-to-diagnose cause manifesting with bleeding of the midgut. We report an 18 -year- old male under study due to iron deficiency anaemia. A video-capsule endoscopy was performed, revealing multiple raised lobulated violaceous lesions in the small intestine of 5 to 15 mm diameter, compatible with hemangiomas. Endoscopic therapy was carried out using an injection of 1% polidocanol, achieving the sclerosis of the lesion without complications and the correction of the anaemia.
