Common Diseases

Gastrointestinal bleeding and gallbladder stones are common diseases of the digestive system. However, duodenal necrosis and bleeding caused by gallbladder stone compression is relatively rare. The present report describes a patient with repeated hematemesis and melena that relapsed after several symptomatic treatments. The patient and his family elected surgical treatment. Intraoperative examination revealed necrosis of the duodenal bulb with hemorrhage, which was related to compression of the gallbladder neck. Because the imaging manifestations of this disease lack specificity, early diagnosis is difficult.

Peutz Jeghers Syndrome

A case is reported in which a child had gastrointestinal polyposis associated with mucocutaneous pigmentations (the Peutz-Jeghers syndrome). He experienced severe recurrent abdominal pain caused by intermittent intussusception. Removal of the grossly palpable polyps from the small intestine and stomach controlled his symptoms. On the basis of a review of the literature it has become apparent that this disease may first become manifest during childhood. The symptoms are primarily those of recurrent abdominal pain and gastrointestinal bleeding in the presence of mucocutaneous pigmentation. The prognosis associated with this disease is excellent, and the risk of malignant change, if it really exists, is minimal. For this reason, it is urged that surgical treatment be conservative rather than radical, to avoid unnecessary loss of intestine.
