Protein-losing enteropathy caused by a jejunal ulcer after an internal hernia in Petersen's space: A case report
BACKGROUND: The incidence of internal hernias has recently increased in concordance with the popularization of laparoscopic surgery. Of particular concern are internal hernias occurring in Petersen's space, a space that is surgically created after treatment for gastric cancer and obesity. These...

description | BACKGROUND: The incidence of internal hernias has recently increased in concordance with the popularization of laparoscopic surgery. Of particular concern are internal hernias occurring in Petersen's space, a space that is surgically created after treatment for gastric cancer and obesity. These hernias cause devastating sequelae, such as massive intestinal necrosis, fatal Roux limb necrosis, and superior mesenteric vein thrombus. In addition, protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) is a rare syndrome involving gastrointestinal protein loss, although its relationship with internal Petersen’s hernias remains unknown. CASE SUMMARY: A 75-year-old man with a history of laparotomy for early gastric cancer developed Petersen's hernia 1 year and 5 mo after surgery. He was successfully treated by reducing the incarcerated small intestine and closure of Petersen’s defect without resection of the small intestine. Approximately 3 mo after his surgery for Petersen’s hernia, he developed bilateral leg edema and hypoalbuminemia. He was diagnosed with PLE with an alpha-1 antitrypsin clearance of 733 mL/24 h. Double-balloon enteroscopy revealed extensive jejunal ulceration as the etiology, and it facilitated minimum bowel resection. Pathological analysis showed extensive jejunal ulceration and collagen hyperplasia with nonspecific inflammation of all layers without lymphangiectasia, lymphoma, or vascular abnormalities. His postoperative course was unremarkable, and his bilateral leg edema and hypoalbuminemia improved after 1 mo. There was no relapse over the 5-year follow-up period. CONCLUSION: PLE and extensive jejunal ulceration may occur after Petersen's hernia. Double-balloon enteroscopy helps identify and resect these lesions. |
