“…7-8 Ischemic enteritis is a rare disease, and endoscopic images of the ischemic small bowel have rarely been reported. [11][12] The diagnosis of ischemic enteritis complicated by stricture represented less than 1% (8/ 836) of the total diagnoses from our large database, also indicating its rarity. Because the accurate diagnosis of this condition remains difficult, we performed direct endoscopic observation and took biopsies from the lesions, to distinguish small-bowel ischemia from other diseases.…”

“…In recent years, however, capsule endoscopy and balloon-assisted enteroscopy have come to be widely used as established diagnostic methods for investigating small intestinal diseases ( 15 ). A few reports have described the diagnosis of ischemic enteritis by capsule endoscopy ( 2 , 4 , 16 , 17 ). Previous reports reveal that the characteristic endoscopic findings of ischemic enteritis are circumferential ulcers and afferent stenosis ( 1 - 3 ).…”

A 69-year-old man was admitted to a hospital with complaints of abdominal pain. Computed tomography showed hepatic portal venous gas and pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis. Conservative treatment was effective; however, after discharge, he developed complaints of vomiting. Fluoroscopic enteroclysis revealed a stricture in the jejunum necessitating admission to our hospital. Transoral balloon-assisted enteroscopy showed a circumferential ulcer with a stricture. The stricture was surgically resected, and a histopathological examination was consistent with ischemic enteritis. Stenotic ischemic enteritis should be considered among the differential diagnoses in a patient presenting with hepatic portal venous gas and pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis showing small intestinal obstruction.

Vaskuläre Veränderungen reichen von ischämischer Enteritis [201] bis zu Vaskulitiden im Rahmen von rheumatologischen/Autoimmunerkrankungen [202 -204], entzündliche Veränderungen können auch bei eosinophiler Enteritis beobachtet werden [205]. Lymphangiektasien des Dünndarms als Ursache einer Malabsorption können idiopathisch [206] oder im Rahmen von Syndromen [207] auftreten.…”
