Case description

Enteroscopy allowing complete examination of small intestine, notoriously one of the most inaccessible areas of the GI tract. Intestinal bleeding remains the most common indication for enteroscopy. Bleeding may be acute or chronic, observed or occult in nature. The small intestine beyond the ligament of Trietz may be the source of bleeding in up to 5% of patients presenting with gastrointestinal bleeding.
