A 31-year-old man has visited our hospital, complaining diarrhea and leg edema. Blood test showed hypoalbuminea, but we couldn't find the reason by several examinations. Therefore, we performed double balloon enteroscopy, and intestinal lymphangiectasia was diagnosed histologically by biopsy. It's useful and effective to perform double balloon enteroscopy and histological examination for the unknown origin case of protein loosing enteropathy.
一名31岁男性前来我院就诊，主诉腹泻和腿部水肿。血液检查显示低白蛋白血症，但经过多项检查我们未能找到病因。因此，我们进行了双气囊小肠镜检查，并通过活检在组织学上诊断为小肠淋巴管扩张症。对于不明原因的蛋白丢失性肠病病例，进行双气囊小肠镜检查和组织学检查是有用且有效的。
