Abstract
- A 79-year-old woman with a known history of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy presented with severe anemia of unknown origin. She had also suffered from repeated episodes of upper gastrointestinal bleeding for the previous 2-3 years. Despite small bowel series and panendoscopic and angiographic studies, the origin of anemia remained undefined until a small multiple bleeding site was found during capsule endoscopy. The lesion proved to be angiodysplasia in jejunum. We report a case of jejunal angiodysplasia is diagnosed by capsule endoscopy in a patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
