In the traditional definition, lower GI bleeding was generally classified as bleeding distal to the TreitZ ligament (duodenojejunal junction) as the border. In the last decade, GI bleeding has adopted three categories in some recent publications: Upper, middle, and lower. According to this category, bleeding from a source between the TreitZ ligament and the ileocecal valve is classified as middle GI bleeding, bleeding from the distal of the ileocecal valve is classified lower GI bleeding. Lower GI bleeding and hospitalization rates increase with aging. Currently, physicians managing lower GI bleeding have many different diagnostic and therapeutic options ranging from colonoscopy and flexible sigmoidoscopy to radiographic interventions such as scintigraphy or angiography. Lower GI bleeding often stops spontaneously and less common than upper GI bleeding. Even though no modality has emerged as the gold standard in the treatment of lower GI bleeding, colonoscopy has several advantages and is generally considered as the preferred initial test in most of the cases.

  • Developmental Venous Anomaly: MR and Angiographic ­Features
    JBR–BTR, 2014, 97: 17-20. DEVELOPMENTAL VENOUS ANOMALY: MR AND ANGIOGRAPHIC FEATURES M. Faure1, M. Voormolen1, T. Van der Zijden1, P.M. Parizel1 Developmental venous anomaly (DVA) is probably the most common anomaly of the intracranial vasculature. DVAs consist of multiple, radially oriented dilated medullary veins that converge into a transcerebral vein. We describe the imaging findings of this vascular anomaly in different patients and the role of different imaging modalities. Key-words: Cerebral blood vessels, abnormalities – Cerebral blood vessels, MR – Cerebral angiography. Developmental venous anomaly (DVA) was first considered a rare vascular malformation (1, 2). Nowa- days, with the advent of Computed Tomography (CT) and especially Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), DVAs are seen every week to month by radiologists (3, 4). Most DVAs are solitary, asymptomatic lesions and are discovered incidentally. They have a relatively benign nature with a low incidence of hemorrhage. When they do bleed, this is thought to be due to associated vascular mal- formations, like cavernous angiomas. The typical angiographic appearance of a DVA is a caput medusae appear- ance in the venous phase. MRI com- bined with MR angiography (MRA) replaces angiography in most un- A B complicated cases as a non-invasive alternative (3, 5). Case reports Case 1 A 32-year-old woman presented with headache, with no particular location and no neurological deficit. MRI of the brain was made in another hospital that showed a flow void running transcerebral, suggestive for a vascular malformation (Fig. 1A,B). Initially, there was no gadolinium contrast given and an arterial feeder could thus not be excluded with MRI.

  • Flexible Video-Endsocopic Injection Sclerotherapy for Second and Third Degree Internal Hemorrhoids
    Published online: 2019-09-26 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Flexible Video-Endsocopic Injection Sclerotherapy for Second and Third Degree Internal Hemorrhoids Sandeep Nijhawan, Udawat H, Gaurav Gupta, Anil Sharma, Amit Mathur, Bharat Sapra, Subhash Nepalia Department of Gastroenterology, SMS Medical College, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India ABSTRACT Background and objectives: Bleeding from hemorrhoids is the commonest cause of rectal bleeding in adults. Injection sclerotherapy of internal hemorrhoids is one of the non-surgical treatments, and is simple, safe and feasible. Conventionally sclerotherapy is performed with rigid proctoscope which has limitations of maneuverability, narrower field of vision and documentation compared to flexible videoendoscope. Therefore, we assessed the efficacy and safety of video-colonoscopic sclerotherapy for bleeding internal hemorrhides. Methods: Seventy-nine patients of bleeding internal hemorrhoids were subjected to colonoscopic sclerotherapy using 1.5% polidocanol in retroflexed or forward viewing positions. Success of treatment was defined as cessation of bleeding for six weeks. Patients were observed for complications and were followed up regularly for 3 months. Results: A total of 79 evaluable patients, 61 had grade II and 18 had grade III hemorrhoids. There was no statistically significant differences in achieving excellent or good results for control of bleeding between patients with grade II and grade III hemorrhoids (100% vs 94,5%; p>0.05). The number of sessions of sclerotherapy required were significantly more in grade II than grade III hemorrhoids (1.1 ± 0.3 vs 1.3 ± 0.7; p = 0.04). No significant complications were noted except for bloating in ten patients (12.6 %) and rectal pain in 6 (7.6%) patients.

This large breadth of possibilities often leads to dilemmas on which studies to order first, usually resulting in an expensive evaluation. We present one more option to add to the differential diagnosis in an IV drug user who presents with fever, with the hopes of increasing awareness of this condition to the medical community. Case Description: A 31 year old female with a history significant for IV drug abuse presented with dyspnea, chest pain, severe abdominal pain, right arm swelling, and generalized weakness for several days. She worked for a home health company and admitted to recently injecting hydromorphone and other opiates into her veins. Physical exam on admission was notable for a high fever, tachycardia, and right forearm edema, erythema, and induration, with a benign chest and abdominal exam. Ancillary studies revealed a urine toxicology positive for opiates, methadone, and cocaine, as well as a white blood cell count of 13.
