Celiac disease occurs in about 1% of the population. Although diarrhea is the classical presentation, the diagnosis of celiac disease is frequently not considered as part of the differential diagnosis of a variety of different symptoms. It is,therefore, imperative that physicians who perform capsule endoscopy, and those who review the images, are aware of the variety of mucosa appearances inpatients who have celiac disease. In addition, studies are needed to determine the role of capsule endoscopy in the diagnosis and management of celiac disease.
乳糜泻在约1%的人群中出现。虽然腹泻是其典型表现,但在对各种不同症状进行鉴别诊断时,乳糜泻的诊断常常未被纳入考虑范围。因此,进行胶囊内镜检查的医生以及查看图像的医生必须了解患有乳糜泻患者的各种黏膜表现。此外,还需要开展研究以确定胶囊内镜在乳糜泻诊断和管理中的作用。
