BACKGROUND AND AIM: Most cases of Meckel's diverticula are asymptomatic, however, some cases presented with gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. It is often difficult to determine whether Meckel's diverticulum is a source of obscure GI bleeding. Double balloon endoscopy allows endoscopic access to the entire small intestine. The aim of this study was to compare endoscopic findings of three hemorrhagic and two non-hemorrhagic Meckel's diverticula in patients with obscure GI bleeding using this novel technique.
METHODS: Between September 2000 and April 2005, 354 enteroscopies, including 162 anterograde and 192 retrograde procedures, were performed on 217 patients at the Jichi Medical University Hospital, Japan, using the double balloon endoscopy system. Five consecutive patients where Meckel's diverticulum was endoscopically observed were selected and analyzed.
RESULTS: Double balloon endoscopy enabled direct observation of Meckel's diverticula in all five patients. Surgical procedures were indicated for three patients where double balloon endoscopy discovered ulcers. By contrast, double balloon endoscopy detected other sources of bleeding in the remaining two patients where no ulcers were found in the Meckel's diverticula.
CONCLUSION: Endoscopic observation of the ulcers in Meckel's diverticula was important evidence of bleeding in patients with obscure GI bleeding. Other sources of bleeding should be considered when no ulcers are found in the Meckel's diverticula.
