Symptoms include abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, vomiting, and an inability to pass gas or stool. Although common in males over 60, we report a challenging case of a 44-year-old man from Africa with recurrent abdominal distention and discomfort. Ultimately, he improved after receiving multiple treatment modalities, highlighting the complexities of Ogilvie syndrome management. Case Presentation: A 44-year-old Nigerian male in the United States with hypertension and significant alcohol use disorder presented with altered mental status and bilateral lower extremity weakness after fasting and hydrochlorothiazide abuse. Initial diagnostics indicated metabolic encephalopathy from hypokalemia and dehydration. Despite aggressive treatment, he developed severe abdominal distension and obstipation. A CT scan showed diffuse colonic dilatation without a normal small bowel. Conservative measures failed, necessitating ICU transfer, TPN, and empiric antibiotics. Despite an initial response to colonoscopy decompression, the patient experienced recurrence. Neostigmine significantly improved his condition, leading to full recovery and discharge. Conclusion: This challenging case highlights the complexities of managing Ogilvie syndrome and the importance of early identification and a stepwise approach to treatment. Incorporating a patient-centered plan utilizing conservative measures, pharmacological agents and endoscopic interventions are essential for improving outcomes in these cases.","PeriodicalId":45645,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Gastrointestinal Medicine","volume":"2024 ","pages":"5378390"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11663046/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142878312","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Male gender, increasing age and colonic diverticula are known risk factors for jejunal diverticula. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and corticosteroids increase gastrointestinal bleeding risk. We present a case of an 80-year-old male admitted to our hospital with syncope and melaena, in the setting of colonic diverticula, long-term aspirin and short-term corticosteroid therapy. Push enteroscopy, using a paediatric colonoscope, was pivotal to establishing the diagnosis of jejunal diverticular bleeding after gastroduodenoscopy and computed tomography (CT) angiogram were negative. Management was conservative with repeat push enteroscopy confirming the cessation of bleeding. Clinicians should consider this diagnosis when there are clinical signs of gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with known risk factors for jejunal diverticula and no evidence of location on gastroduodenoscopy, colonoscopy or imaging. We advise that push enteroscopy is performed early during the diagnostic workup to assist in identifying jejunal sources of bleeding and initiating management. However, as reflected by our case, jejunal diverticular haemorrhage may be amenable to conservative measures.","PeriodicalId":45645,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Gastrointestinal Medicine","volume":"2024 ","pages":"8875482"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11611427/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142773542","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many factors are postulated to be the causes such as anatomical, mechanical, physiological, and hormonal risk factors but the presence of a distended gallbladder with a redundant mesentery is thought to be an important cause. Case presentation: A 68-year-old woman presented with right hypochondrial pain and vomiting for 2 days that was radiated to the interscapular region and associated with nausea and vomiting. The patient had no jaundice and the abdominal examination showed severe tenderness with guarding during palpation of the right upper abdomen with no palpable mass. The WBCs were elevated, with normal liver enzymes, bilirubin, and alkaline phosphatase. The ultrasound showed a single gallstone with increased wall thickness. There was no significant clinical improvement with antibiotics and analgesics. During laparoscopy, volvulus of the gallbladder was discovered causing gangrene of the gallbladder. Laparoscopic detorsion and successful laparoscopic cholecystectomy were performed. The patient was discharged on the third postoperative day with dramatic improvement with no postoperative complications. Conclusion: Gall bladder volvulus is an acute surgical emergency that is usually seen in the elderly population. It required a high index of suspicion especially in the absence of gallstones and must be differentiated from acalculous cholecystitis. Most cases are discovered at surgery. It must be managed with immediate detorsion and cholecystectomy, and the prognosis is excellent in most cases after an appropriate surgical intervention.","PeriodicalId":45645,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Gastrointestinal Medicine","volume":"2024 ","pages":"9319605"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11554408/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142629814","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most ingested FBs typically pass spontaneously, requiring no intervention. Endoscopic removal stands out as the least invasive method, with only a minimal 1% needing surgical intervention. Case Presentation. We present a case of a 30-year-old male who ingested multiple FBs located in the stomach and small bowel. While successful removal of the stomach FB was achieved through endoscopy, the second FB in the small bowel proved challenging due to perforation concerns and limited expertise. Given a history of prior surgical intervention resulting in a large incisional hernia, surgical removal was discouraged. Consequently, a collaborative decision involving surgeon and interventional radiologist (IR) led to the adoption of a fluoroscopic-guided removal approach facilitated by IR techniques.Conclusion: This case highlights the potential for a less invasive alternative in situations where both endoscopic and surgical interventions are deemed not feasible.","PeriodicalId":45645,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Gastrointestinal Medicine","volume":"2024 ","pages":"5117360"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11419835/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142308741","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
