“…According to some studies this function gives a high rate of false positives; however it remains extremely useful in detecting intestinal bleedings. (Signorelli C et al, 2005;D'Halluin PN et al, 2005) The time spent analyzing the video recordings varies from one to three-four hours, depending on the experience of the clinician, as well as the suspected pathology. Generally, viewing time for the small bowel varies between one and two hours.…”

“…El procedimiento es ambulatorio y se obtiene un registro topográfico en cuadrantes del abdomen mediante electrodos unidos al cuerpo del paciente. La estación de trabajo permite el análisis de las imágenes 21 y es capaz de detectar en forma automática cambios de coloración (indicador de rojo) en la mucosa, lo cual facilita el diagnóstico [22][23][24] . El tiempo estimado de análisis por un operador es variable, dependiendo de la experiencia.…”

“…Wireless video endoscopy or video capsule endoscopy is a novel noninvasive technology designed primarily to provide diagnostic imaging of the small intestine, an anatomic site that has proved peculiarly difficult to visualize [22]. Figure 3 shows an ileal neuroendocrine tumour detected by video-pill.…”

AbstractNeuroendocrine tumors arise from the diffuse neuroendocrine system and secrete several peptides and bioactive amines (serotonin, histamine, dopamine, norepinephrine, corticotropin, calcitonin, bradykinin, kalikrein, gastrin, cholecystokinin, prostaglandins). The most common occurrence site of neuroendocrine tumors is the ileum. The symptoms of small bowel carcinoids are represented by intermittent intestinal obstruction and carcinoid syndrome. Presence of the carcinoid syndrome usually indicates hepatic or retroperitoneal metastases. The typical carcinoid syndrome is characterized by flushing, diarrhea, nonspecific abdominal pain and bronchospasm. The diagnosis of small bowel tumors is often difficult due to their rarity and the nonspecific and variable nature of the presenting signs and symptoms. The most useful initial diagnostic test for the carcinoid syndrome is to measure 24-hour urinary excretion of 5-hydroxyindolacetic acid (5 HIAA), which is the end product of serotonin metabolism. Capsule endoscopy is a more recent diagnostic tool. Surgery is the radical form of curative therapy for carcinoid tumors. Numerous therapies are available for palliation including surgery, pharmacologic therapy, interventional radiologic therapy, embolization and chemoembolization of hepatic metastases, immunotherapy (Interferon alfa) and chemotherapy. We carefully reviewed the available literature on this topic before beginning our study.
