Resumen

La hemorragia digestiva de intestino delgado es poco frecuente y supone un difícil reto para el médico. Aproximadamente el 30-40% de las hemorragias digestivas localizadas en el intestino delgado son debidas a la angiodisplasia, una malformación vascular. Presentamos el caso de un paciente con angiodisplasia múltiple de intestino delgado que precisó la realización de una enteroscopia y una exploración con cápsula endoscópica para su diagnóstico, y que fue tratado exitosamente con octreótida por vía subcutánea. En resumen, en casos dudosos o con hemorragia persistente, la cápsula endoscópica puede mejorar el rendimiento diagnóstico de la enteroscopia para las lesiones vasculares gastrointestinales hemorrágicas como la angiodisplasia. Los tratamientos endoscópico (coagulación con láser) y farmacológico (somatostatina o análogos) son alternativas válidas a la cirugía en casos no operables o irresecables.

Small bowel bleeding is infrequent and presents a challenge to the clinician. Approximately 30-40% of gastrointestinal bleeding localized in the small bowel is due to angiodysplasia, a vascular malformation. We present the case of a patient with multiple angiodysplasia of the small bowel who required push enteroscopy and capsule endoscopy to establish the diagnosis. Treatment with subcutaneous octreotide was successful. In conclusion, in doubtful cases or in patients with persistent hemorrhage, capsule endoscopy can improve the diagnostic yield of enteroscopy in bleeding gastrointestinal vascular lesions such as angiodysplasia. Endoscopic treatment (laser coagulation) and drug therapy (somatostatin or analogs) are valid alternatives in inoperable or non-resectable cases.
