Abstract

Background: Aim of the study was to assess the diagnostic yield of second-generation colon capsule in pediatric gastrointestinal diseases. Patients and methods: Five patients with different symptoms of gastrointestinal diseases were included in the study. Among them were: suspicion on diffuse polyposis, intestinal bleeding, lymphangiectasia and inflammatory bowel disease. Image interpretation was made by experienced capsule users, previously trained on small bowel capsule and first generation colon capsule. Lesions or abnormal changes of the mucosa identified on capsule endoscopy served as indications for colonoscopy or esophagogastroduodenoscopy with biopsy or polypectomy if needed. Results: Standard white light endoscopy was made in all children without any adverse events. Second-generation colon capsule allows diagnosing Crohn’s disease in small intestine and colon, limphangiectasia of the ileum, single rectosigmoid polyp and diffuse polyposis of the colon. Conclusion: Second-generation colon capsule can be used as non-invasive screening method in children without serious complications, thus allowing differentiating indications for traditional white light endoscopy, which is usually made under general anesthesia in pediatrics.
