Bleeding Jejunal Dieulafoy Pseudopolyp: Capsule Endoscopic Detection and Laparoscopic-Assisted Resection

Abstract

In this paper, we report a case of bleeding solitary jejunal Dieulafoy pseudopolyp that was detected on capsule endoscopy and treated with a laparoscopic-assisted transumbilical polypectomy procedure. This case illustrates an innovative, tailored application of minimal invasive techniques in the management of a relatively uncommon lesion. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of the combination of capsule endoscopy and laparoscopic-assisted transumbilical resection for a bleeding jejunal Dieulafoy pseudopolyp in children.
