Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 1
Abstract
Jejunal strictures are rare and cause primarily problems of etiological diagnosis. They are often revealed by chronicle presentation that depends on the nature of the stricture. Radiological investigations can locate the stricture and the etiological diagnosis that is most often inflammatory. Endoscopy plays a major diagnosis and therapeutic role with the advent of new technologies. We report a rare case of idiopathic jejunal stricture in a patient aged 28 years admitted for chronic vomiting. Radiology and enteroscopy described a mega jejunum. No specific etiology was identified. Surgical resection has removed the obstacle and the pathological study of the surgical specimen did not find any inflammatory of cancerous lesion. The patient improved clinically with no relapse with a follow up of 48 months.
