A 47-year-old man presented with dysgeusia, anorexia, and diarrhea. An endoscopic evaluation showed widespread gastrointestinal nodular inflammation and polyps. The pathological findings were consistent with Cronkhite-Canada Syndrome (CCS). Prednisolone therapy resulted in clinical improvement.
The authors report 21 cases of chronic duodenal ulcer treated by truncal vagotomy performed thoracoscopy. A description of the technique is presented. Mean feeding after surgery was 1.6 days. Mean hospital stay was 4.6 days (2-9). All patients were reviewed one month later by endoscopy and/or X Ray.
There are few published surgical reports on peptic ulcer disease (PUD) in Ethiopia. Of 405 complicated peptic ulcer patients operated on in Tikur Anbessa Hospital, Addis Ababa, from 1997 to 2001, the records of 351 patients were retrieved and retrospectively analyzed to assess the pattern of PUD
Parietal cell vagotomy can be accomplished with minimal morbidity and mortality. Symptoms and signs of delayed gastric emptying early after operation are common and occur more frequently in patients with preoperative gastric outlet obstruction than in those without, a difference that is
Eight patients (five men, three women), mean age 36.9 +/- 13.5 (17-60) yr, were diagnosed to have eosinophilic gastroenteritis. The condition was proved in five patients by biopsies through endoscope, and in three, by operation. All had hypereosinophilia (absolute eosinophil count of

Many gastric acid hypersecretory states (basal acid output of greater than 15.0 mEq/h) exist for which the etiology is known, such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, systemic mastocytosis, antral exclusion, antral predominant Helicobacter pylori gastritis (antral G cell hyperplasia), chronic gastric
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), an inherited disorder of phagocytic leukocyte function, is characterized by recurrent infections with catalase-positive organisms. Gastrointestinal (GI) tract involvement, present in the majority of affected individuals, may be present initially and recurrently,
The case of a 39-year old white man with eosinophilic gastroenteritis is presented. The major clinical features were gastric outlet obstruction, diarrhea and massive ascites. At surgery, significant involvement of the entire gastrointestinal tract from the gastric antrum to the sigmoid colon was
Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD) represents a group of inherited disorders of phagocytic system, manifesting recurrent infections at different sites. The present study was accomplished in order to determine the gastrointestinal manifestations of CGD patients. Fifty-seven patients (38 males and 19
An 82-year-old woman with a history of bronchiectasis for 20 years was admitted to our hospital with anorexia and diarrhea. Sigmoidoscopy showed multiple mucosal erythematous areas and erosions. Histologic examination with Congo red stain revealed massive amyloid deposition around the submucosal
This is an interim report of a prospective, randomized study involving 194 consecutive patients who underwent elective operation for treatment of duodenal ulcer. The results of parietal cell vagotomy without drainage (PCV) and selective vagotomy-antrectomy and Billroth I anastomosis (SV-A-B I) were
