INTRODUCTION: Recent data suggest that @entity10900 can occur even in the duodenum, jejunum, and distal ileum of @entity82 @entity1 . We present a case of @entity101 in a @entity82 @entity1 shown by capsule endoscopy and the effect of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt on the ileal pictures. CASE PRESENTATION: An 83-year-old Caucasian @entity1 was admitted to our hospital for @entity417 and a positive fecal occult blood test. An upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed small varices without @entity548 signs and @entity101 gastropathy. Colonoscopy was negative. To rule out any other cause of @entity548 , capsule endoscopy was performed; capsule endoscopy revealed severe @entity450 of the jejunum-ileal mucosa with active @entity548 . Because of the persistence of @entity417 and the frequent blood transfusions, not responding to b-blocker drugs or @entity2390 infusion, a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt was performed. @entity417 improved quickly after the transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt, and no further blood transfusion was necessary in the follow-up. The @entity1 developed portal @entity75 two months later and was readmitted to our department. We repeated the capsule endoscopy that showed a significant improvement of the @entity356 without any signs of @entity548 . CONCLUSION: @entity101 is a rare condition, but it seems more common with the introduction of capsule endoscopy in clinical practice. This case shows that the jejunum can be a source of @entity548 in @entity82 @entity1 , and this is the first demonstration of its resolution after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt placement.
