Abstract

This is a rare case of a 73-year-old male patient who presented with hematochezia and was treated using transcatheter arterial embolization following upper gastrointestinal bleeding in the third portion of the duodenum. The cause of the bleeding was not found on gastrointestinal endoscopy and CT. On the third day of hospitalization, the hemoglobin level continued to decrease. A technetium-99m-labeled red blood cell scan revealed suspicious bleeding in the diverticulum of the third portion of the duodenum. Superior mesenteric artery angiography showed active bleeding from the posteroinferior pancreaticoduodenal artery, which was embolized with N-butyl cyanoacrylate. The patient was discharged on the seventh day after embolization without re-bleeding or complication. We report a rare case of a patient with active bleeding from a duodenal diverticulum that was difficult to diagnose using routine modalities. Herein, we report a rare case of a patient with active bleeding from a duodenal diverticulum that was difficult to diagnose using routine modalities. We also conducted a relavant literature review.

본 증례는 73세 남자 환자가 십이지장 3부에서 발생한 상부위장관 출혈로 인해 경동맥 색전술로 치료한 드문 증례이다. 환자는 혈변을 주소로 내원하여 시행한 초기 상부 및 하부 위장관 내시경과 전산화단층촬영에서 출혈 부위를 발견하지 못하였다. 입원 3일째에 혈색소 수치가 지속적으로 감소하여 테크네슘-적혈구 스캔을 시행하였고 십이지장 3부의 게실 내에 출혈이 의심되어 혈관조영술을 시행하였다. 상장간동맥 혈관조영술에서 십이지장 게실에 혈류를 공급하는 하췌십이지장동맥의 활동성 출혈이 관찰되어 색전술을 시행하였다. 이후 7일 동안 재출혈이나 합병증이 없어 퇴원하였다. 이에 발생빈도가 매우 낮고 초기 진단이 어려웠던 십이지장 게실 출혈의 보고와 관련된 문헌고찰을 하고자 한다.
