Abstract:
A 67-year-old man with complaints of dark red stools was admitted to the hospital. Capsule endoscopy, computed tomography enterography (CTE) with amidotrizoic acid meglumine solution (AM), and transanal double-balloon enteroscopy revealed a diverticulum in the ileum, which was accompanied by an ulcer in the vicinity. A partial ileal resection was performed laparoscopically, and the intraoperative and pathological findings indicated that the patient had a duplicated intestinal tract. Intriguingly, we identified a few reports on preoperative diagnosis of ileal duplication;however, we experienced such a case wherein the combination of capsule endoscopy and CTE using AM aided in its diagnosis.

Radionuclide Testing
Radionuclide testing is a sophisticated medical technique for assessing gastrointestinal motility. It focuses on gastric emptying and colonic transit time. Radioactive markers track the movement of food through the digestive system, providing insights into gastrointestinal disorders.
In gastric emptying studies, a meal's liquid and...
