Multiple duodeno-jejunal diverticula caused massive intestinal bleeding in a patient. Surgical removal of the affected areas successfully treated the bleeding and anemia.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Intestinal blood loss can stem from various causes, necessitating thorough diagnostic evaluation.
  • Duodeno-jejunal diverticula are uncommon congenital or acquired outpouchings of the small intestine.

Observation:

  • A 39-year-old male presented with recurrent bloody stools and severe anemia.
  • Initial diagnostic investigations including endoscopy, angiography, and radionuclide scanning failed to identify the bleeding source.

Findings:

  • Small-bowel barium follow-through revealed multiple diverticula in the distal duodenum and proximal jejunum.
  • Histopathology of the resected duodenal diverticulum showed an ulcerative lesion with an exposed blood vessel.

Implications:

  • This case highlights duodeno-jejunal diverticula as a rare but significant cause of massive gastrointestinal hemorrhage.

  • A high index of suspicion and targeted imaging are crucial for diagnosing this condition in patients with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding.
