99mTechnetium-labelled red blood cell scintigraphy as an alternative to angiography in the investigation of gastrointestinal bleeding: clinical experience in a district general hospital. Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, 1992, Volume: 74, Issue:3 99mTechnetium-labelled red blood cell scintigraphy (99mTc RBC scintigraphy) was used as the second-line investigation to localise bleeding in 23 patients (11 male, 12 female; mean age 67 years) presenting with active bleeding per rectum. Scintigraphy was available on a 24 h basis. A total of 18 patients had positive scans (78%). Surgery was performed urgently in 11 patients and the site of bleeding, as predicted by scintigraphy, was confirmed in 9 (82%). 99mTc RBC scintigraphy was less useful in patients who were not bleeding actively or who were being investigated for chronic anaemia. This study suggests that 99mTc RBC scintigraphy can play a useful role in the preoperative localisation of unexplained gastrointestinal bleeding in hospitals with nuclear medicine facilities, but confirms it has little place in the management of patients unless they are bleeding actively.

Intestinal neurofibromatosis in von Recklinghausen's disease: presenting as chronic anemia due to recurrent intestinal hemorrhage. The Korean journal of internal medicine, 1992, Volume: 7, Issue:2 Neurofibromatosis (von Recklinghausen's disease) is a neuroectodermal disorder characterized by pigmentary changes of the skin (café-au-lait spots), cutaneous and visceral tumors (neurofibromas) and systemic abnormalities. The involvement of gastrointestinal tract in neurofibromatosis is not common. The most common symptoms, refer able to lesions in the gut, are hematemesis, melena and abdominal pain. We experienced a case of intestinal neurofibroma in von Recklinghausen's disease. The patient was a 39 year-old female who had suffered from chronic iron deficiency anemia and recurrent gastrointestinal hemorrhage due to two neurofibromas of jejunum for 3 years, which was diagnosed by superior mesenteric and ileal arteriogram and 99mTc pertechnetate-labelled RBC scan, and treated by segmental resection of jejunum with end to end anastomosis.

Intestinal neurofibromatosis in von Recklinghausen's disease: presenting as chronic anemia due to recurrent intestinal hemorrhage.

Neurofibromatosis (von Recklinghausen's disease) is a neuroectodermal disorder characterized by pigmentary changes of the skin (café-au-lait spots), cutaneous and visceral tumors (neurofibromas) and systemic abnormalities. The involvement of gastrointestinal tract in neurofibromatosis is not common. The most common symptoms, refer able to lesions in the gut, are hematemesis, melena and abdominal pain. We experienced a case of intestinal neurofibroma in von Recklinghausen's disease. The patient was a 39 year-old female who had suffered from chronic iron deficiency anemia and recurrent gastrointestinal hemorrhage due to two neurofibromas of jejunum for 3 years, which was diagnosed by superior mesenteric and ileal arteriogram and 99mTc pertechnetate-labelled RBC scan, and treated by segmental resection of jejunum with end to end anastomosis.
