An uncommon cause of digestive neoplasm: duodenal melanoma
We present and discuss the case of one patient that presented to the emergency room with abdominal pain in the right hypochondrium radiated to epigastrium and low-grade fever with blood test that shows dissociated colesthasis therefore admitted in the gastroenterology service with choledocholithiasis suspicion. cholangioresonance performed with a sudden stenosis of the bile duct in its intrapancreatic portion due a tumor in the pancreatic head. CT without lessions in other parts of the body. Upper endoscopy shows an ulcerated growth in the papillary area whose biopsies found neoplastic proliferation with S100, SOX10, Melan...

Prevalence, diagnosis, and surgical management of complex ileocolic-duodenal fistulas in Crohn ’s disease
ConclusionICDF is a rare manifestation of CD which may go unrecognized despite the implementation of a comprehensive preoperative evaluation. Although laparoscopic management of ICDF may be technically feasible, it is associated with a high conversion rate. Preoperative nutritional optimization may be beneficial in improving surgical outcomes in this select group of patients. (Source: Techniques in Coloproctology)

GSE203126 Chromosomal abnormalities and pregnancy outcomes for fetuses with gastrointestinal tract obstructions
This study aimed to investigate the genetic disorders and pregnancy outcomes of fetal GITO. We reviewed data from 70 pregnancies who were referred for invasive prenatal testing due to fetal GITO. According to the levels of obstruction, they were classified into esophageal atresia/stenosis, duodenal atresia/stenosis, jejunal or ileal atresia/stenosis, and anal atresia. Traditional karyotyping was performed on all 70 pregnancies, and chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) was performed on 32 of them in parallel. Traditional karyotyping revealed twelve (17.1%) chromosomal abnormalities, including 11 cases of trisomy 21 (Down s...

Crack cocaine abuse as an undescribed cause of gastric outlet obstruction
Rev Esp Enferm Dig. 2022 May 31. doi: 10.17235/reed.2022.8438/2021. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA 32-year-old male with crack-cocaine abuse for 10 years, 300 g/day. He started with epigastric abdominal pain, intensity 10/10, he went to another hospital where a perforated peptic ulcer was suspected and a laparotomy was performed, with no findings. Subsequently, he started with vomiting and weight loss, on admission, a gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) was suspected and CT scan showed a concentric duodenal growth. An upper endoscopy identified a duodenal bulb stenosis with a Forrest-III ulcer. Roux-en-Y gastrojejunal anasto...

Application of ERCP Procedures in Choledocholithiasis with Duodenal Stenosis Patients
CONCLUSION: In patients with choledocholithiasis and duodenal stenosis, ERCP treatment by gastroscopy has a higher success rate and does not increase the incidence of complications, but there is a problem of cholecystolithiasis recurrence.PMID:35547653 | PMC:PMC9085313 | DOI:10.1155/2022/2662435 (Source: Evidence-based Complementary and Alternative Medicine)
