Cavernous hemangioma of the small intestine diagnosed by capsule endoscopy in an 8-year-old girl
Cavernous hemangiomas of the small intestine are rare. Usually, early diagnosis is difficult because patients are often asymptomatic for a long period. In recent years, capsule endoscopy has been used to diagnose small-bowel lesions with small-intestinal bleeding in pediatric patients. Herein, we pr...

| description | Cavernous hemangiomas of the small intestine are rare. Usually, early diagnosis is difficult because patients are often asymptomatic for a long period. In recent years, capsule endoscopy has been used to diagnose small-bowel lesions with small-intestinal bleeding in pediatric patients. Herein, we present a case of cavernous hemangioma of the small intestine diagnosed by wireless capsule endoscopy in an 8-year-old girl. To our knowledge, this is the youngest case reported in Japan. Additionally, we reviewed pediatric case reports of small intestinal cavernous hemangiomas. The use of wireless capsule endoscopy in children is effective and safe for preoperative detection of gastrointestinal bleeding caused by small intestinal lesions. |
