RESUMO

Pediatric intestinal pseudoobstruction (PIPO) is the "tip of the iceberg" of the most severe gut motility disorders. In patients with PIPO, the impairment of gastrointestinal propulsive patterns is such as to result in progressive obstructive symptoms without evidence of mechanical causes. PIPO is an important cause of intestinal failure and affects growth and pubertal development. Bowel loop and abdominal distension represent one of the main features of intestinal pseudo-obstruction syndromes, hence intestinal decompression is a mainstay in the management of PIPO. So far, pharmacologic, endoscopic, and surgical treatments failed to achieve long-term relief of bowel distension and related symptoms, including pain. Recent data, however, indicated that percutaneous endoscopic gastrojejunostomy (PEG-J) might be a minimally invasive approach for intestinal decompression, thereby improving abdominal symptoms and nutritional status in adult patients with chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction. Based on these promising results, we treated for the first time a 12-y-old patient affected by PIPO refractory to any therapeutic options to obtain intestinal decompression by PEG-J. We showed that PEG-J yielded sustained small bowel decompression in the reported PIPO patient with considerable improvement of both abdominal symptoms and nutritional status. The positive outcome of the present case provides a basis to test the actual efficacy PEG-J versus other therapeutic approaches to intestinal decompression in patients with PIPO.

RESUMO

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) includes Crohn's disease (CD), ulcerative colitis and unclassified entities. CD commonly involves the terminal ileum and colon but at the time of diagnosis it can be confined to the small bowel (SB) in about 30% of the patients, especially in the young ones. Management of isolated SB-CD can be challenging and objective evaluation of the SB mucosa is essential in differentiating CD from other enteropathies to achieve therapeutic decisions and to plan the follow-up. The introduction of cross-sectional imaging techniques and capsule endoscopy (CE) have significantly expanded the ability to diagnose SB diseases providing a non-invasive test for the visualization of the entire SB mucosa. The main CE limitations are the low specificity, the lack of therapeutic capabilities and the impossibility to take biopsies. Device assisted enteroscopy (DAE) enables histological confirmation when traditional endoscopy, capsule endoscopy and cross-sectional imaging are inconclusive and also allows therapeutic interventions such as balloon stricture dilation, intralesional steroid injection, capsule retrieval and more recently stent insertion. In the current review we will discuss technical aspect, indications and safety profile of DAE in children and adults with IBD.
