| Abstract |
|
The current prevalence of obscure bleeding among all cases of gastrointestinal bleeding was about 5%, most often the site of hemorrhage is suspected to be the small bowel. Bleeding sites located in the small bowel are difficult to detect with conventional radiological methods. Also, endoscopic examination of the small bowel is limited by its significant length and distance from accessible orifices. Nowadays, capsule endoscopy has been developed to facilitate examination of small bowel disorders, including gastrointestinal bleeding. We report a case of NSAIDs induced small bowel ulcer bleeding diagnosed by capsule endoscopy. (Intestinal Research 2004;2:43-45) |
