Multiendoscope-assisted treatment for blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome.
Surgical Endoscopy 2000 June
Blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome is characterized by gastrointestinal and cutaneous hemangiomas and gastrointestinal bleeding causing anemia. We report a unique case of this syndrome in an adult woman. It was associated with congenital heart disease, for which the patient underwent surgery at 12 months of age, and cutaneous hemangiomas, for which surgery was performed later in childhood. Gastrointestinal bleeding was diagnosed and treated when she was 21 years of age after a workup for iron deficiency anemia. Successful total resection of all gastrointestinal hemangiomas was performed by minimally invasive surgery with gastric, small intestinal, and colonic fiberscopy and laparoscopy. The postoperative course was uneventful. The patient could walk the day after surgery, and she was discharged from the hospital 14 days after surgery. Our experience and findings given in other reports suggest that total resection of hemangiomas should be the final goal and that minimal skin incision is preferable for this benign disease, with multiendoscope-assisted treatment to ensure that any hemangiomas remaining in the gastrointestinal tract are not overlooked.
