| Popis: | The negative initial endoscopy investigations (gastroscopy and colonoscopy) are the basic conditions for the obscure gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding diagnosis. The bleeding source is mostly localized in the small bowel; in spite of this, there is still a large group of patients with upper GI lesions missed during initial gastroscopy. Therefore, the capsule endoscopy indicated as the first-line method can be valuable for the gastric and duodenal investigation, too. Some cases of missed upper GI lesions diagnosed by means of capsule endoscopy indicated for obscure GI bleeding are demonstrated. This article is part of an expert video encyclopedia. |
