  • Exploratory laparoscopy combined with pathological examination in the diagnosis of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding in a child: a case report.
    BMC pediatrics, 2018
    Co-Authors: Jiande Chen, Bin Zhang, Zhi-long Yan, Huaying Zhao, Kaihua Yang, Yong Yin, Lirong Jiang
    Abstract:

    The diagnosis of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB) which is defined as bleeding of unknown origin of the small bowel by routine evaluation in childhood is a challenge. Here we report a one-year-old Chinese girl who was suspected with Idiopathic Pulmonary Haemosiderosis (IPH) and referred to our department for further diagnosis. Finally she was diagnosed with vascular malformations (VM) by exploratory laparoscopy combined with pathological examination. Children OGIB could be easily misdiagnosed in the beginning, and OGIB children with active ongoing bleeding may benefit from proceeding directly to exploratory laparoscopy, followed by pathological confirmation of the diagnosis.

  • Coeliac disease as a cause of unusually severe anaemia in a young man with Idiopathic Pulmonary Haemosiderosis.
    Respiratory medicine, 2005
    Co-Authors: Puneet Malhotra, Ritesh Aggarwal, Ashutosh N. Aggarwal, Surinder K. Jindal, Anshu Awasthi, Bishan D. Radotra
    Abstract:

    Idiopathic Pulmonary Haemosiderosis (IPH) is characterized by a triad of recurrent episodes of alveolar haemorrhage, haemoptysis and iron deficiency anaemia. The combination of IPH and coeliac disease (CD) is extremely rare though both diseases may have a common pathogenetic link. As illustrated by our case CD should be specifically looked for in patients with IPH, especially those in whom the severity of anaemia is disproportionate to radiologic findings even in the absence of gastrointestinal symptoms since both diseases may benefit from a gluten-free diet.
