Diagnostic upper gastrointestinal (UGI) endoscopy has been regarded as a safe procedure.
We report of a 67-year-old woman who developed epigastric pain and dyspeptic complaints following an uneventful upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. The diagnosis of an acute reversible duodenitis was made on the basis of imaging studies. A duodenal diverticulum was also found on CT images, which raised the suspicion that duodenal diverticulum could be a predisposing factor for duodenitis.
Despite significant inflammation the patient demonstrated rapid clinical improvement with conservative treatment. Presence of a duodenal diverticulum may predispose to acute duodenitis following diagnostic UGI endoscopy.
诊断性上消化道(UGI)内镜检查一直被视为一种安全的操作。
我们报告一名67岁女性,在一次顺利的上消化道内镜检查后出现上腹部疼痛和消化不良症状。根据影像学检查诊断为急性可逆性十二指肠炎症。CT图像上还发现了十二指肠憩室,这引发了十二指肠憩室可能是十二指肠炎症易感因素的怀疑。
尽管有明显炎症,但患者经保守治疗后临床症状迅速改善。十二指肠憩室的存在可能使患者在诊断性UGI内镜检查后易患急性十二指肠炎症。
