Introduction:
cryptogenic multifocal ulcerous stenosing enteritis (CMUSE) is a rare illness. Capsule retention (CR) has been reported in a few cases of CMUSE.
Methods:
we present four cases of CMUSE with CR. None of the patients showed any symptoms or signs of small bowel obstruction before capsule endoscopy (CE). All patients denied a history of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs intake, radiotherapy treatment or abdominal surgery.
Results:
CE disclosed circumferential stenosis with or without ulcers in the small bowel, some accompanied by mucosal edema, white spots and nodules. All patients underwent an elective surgery to remove the retained capsule and resect the lesions.
Conclusion:
CE plays a positive role in diagnosing CMUSE. CE findings are as important as CR to alert about the diagnosis of CMUSE.

Damaging agents such as Helicobacter pylori, gastric acid, pepsin, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can weaken the mucosal defense, allowing hydrogen ions to infiltrate back and harm epithelial cells.

Within parietal cells, carbonic acid is first formed through the reaction of water and carbon dioxide. The dissociation of carbonic acid releases bicarbonate and hydrogen ions. The bicarbonate...
01:17Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...

Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas, which occurs when the immune system becomes active and causes swelling, pain, and disruptions in organ function. Pancreatitis can manifest as either an acute or chronic condition.
