Abstract

Gastrointestinal hemangioma (GIH) is a benign vascular formation located in different parts of the intestinal tube. The clinical significance of hemangiomas of the gastrointestinal tract is usually associated with the development of complications such as gastrointestinal bleeding, invagination, intestinal obstruction or bowel perforation. Aim of the study. Demonstration of a rare clinical observation of jejunal cavernous hemangioma as a cause of recurrent intestinal bleeding. Material and methods. A boy, 11 years old, admitted to the Institute with complaints of chronic anemia and recurrent intestinal bleeding of unknown etiology. There was made a complex diagnostic search, including laboratory and instrumental methods, with a video capsular study of the gastrointestinal tract and angiography of the abdominal cavity. Results. At the base of the video capsular study of the gastrointestinal tract, the vascular formation of the jejunum, which is a possible source of intestinal bleeding, is suspected. The vascular structure of the formation is confirmed by angiography. During laparoscopy, a cavernous hemangioma with a diameter of about 1.5 cm was detected. Hemangioma was located in the wall of the jejunum and prolapsed both into the lumen of the intestine and from the side of the serous membrane. Under micro laparotomic access in the umbilical region, there was performed a resection of the jejunum area with the imposition of the anastomosis "end to end". A morphological diagnosis was confirmed. The postoperative period was uneventful. Conclusion. The cavernous hemangioma of the jejunum is rare and difficult to diagnose the cause of recurrent intestinal bleeding. The use of modern diagnostic and surgical technologies ensures timely and mini-invasive treatment, which leads to rapid recovery of the patient and ensures the cost-effectiveness of treatment.
