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.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
