Синдром Пейтца–Егерса как причина железодефицитной анемии у ребенка 5 лет: диагностическое значение видеокапсульной энтероскопии

Abstract

This clinical case demonstrates the diagnostic value of capsule endoscopy for the detection of polyposis of gastro-intestinal tract (Peutz–Jeghers syndrome). We report the case of a 5-year-old male presenting with a chronic iron refractory iron deficiency anemia. Multiple polyps of the stomach and small intestine with an erosive and hemorrhagic component were identified by the method of capsule endoscopy.
