| 2 | Obscure bleeding colonic duplication responds to proton pump inhibitor therapy显示文摘We report the case of a 17-year-old male admitted to our academic hospital with massive rectal bleeding.Since childhood he had reported recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding and had two exploratory laparotomies 5and 2 years previously.An emergency abdominal computed tomography scan,gastroscopy and colonoscopy,performed after hemodynamic stabilization,were considered normal.High-dose intravenous proton pump inhibitor(PPI)therapy was initiated and bleeding stopped spontaneously.Two other massive rectal bleeds occurred 8 h after each cessation of PPI which led to a hemostatic laparotomy after negative gastroscopy and small bowel capsule endoscopy.This showed long tubular duplication of the right colon,with fresh blood in the duplicated colon.Obscure lower gastrointestinal bleeding is a difficult medical situation and potentially life-threatening.The presence of ulcerated ectopic gastric mucosa in the colonic duplication explains the partial efficacy of PPI therapy.Obscure gastrointestinalbleeding responding to empiric anti-acid therapy should probably evoke the diagnosis of bleeding ectopic gastric mucosa such as Meckel’s diverticulum or gastrointestinal duplication,and gastroenterologists should be aware of this potential medical situation. | Jérémie Jacques Fabrice Projetti Romain Legros Virginie Valgueblasse Matthieu Sarabi Paul Carrier Fabien Fredon Stéphane Bouvier Véronique Loustaud-Ratti Denis Sautereau | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013，19，35： | 1 |
