Afferent Loop Syndrome
A complication of gastrojejunostomy (BILLROTH II PROCEDURE), a reconstructive GASTROENTEROSTOMY. It is caused by acute (complete) or chronic (intermittent) obstruction of the afferent jejunal loop due to HERNIA, intussusception, kinking, VOLVULUS, etc. It is characterized by PAIN and VOMITING of BILE-stained fluid.
Blind Loop Syndrome
A malabsorption syndrome that is associated with a blind loop in the upper SMALL INTESTINE that is characterized by the lack of peristaltic movement, stasis of INTESTINAL CONTENTS, and the overgrowth of BACTERIA. Such bacterial overgrowth interferes with BILE SALTS action, FATTY ACIDS processing, MICROVILLI integrity, and the ABSORPTION of nutrients such as VITAMIN B12 and FOLIC ACID.
Gastroenterostomy
Non-surgical treatment for afferent loop syndrome in recurrent gastric cancer complicated by peritoneal carcinomatosis: percutaneous transhepatic duodenal drainage followed by 24-hour infusion of high-dose fluorouracil and leucovorin. (1/7)
Afferent loop syndrome (ALS) is a debilitating complication of recurrent gastric cancer. Surgical intervention is usually not feasible in the face of poor general performance, presence of advanced peritoneal carcinomatosis and limited survival of the patients. Non-surgical approaches include internal drainage by stenting at the stenotic or anastomotic site and external drainage via the percutaneous routes. Percutaneous transhepatic duodenal drainage (PTDD) has been shown to provide effective palliation for ALS, but long-term catheterization is usually inevitable. We hereby present two cases of recurrent gastric cancer whose ALS was successfully treated with PTDD followed by weekly 24-h infusion of high-dose 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin (HDFL). PTDD rapidly ameliorated the incapacitating symptoms of ALS, and the effective, low-toxicity chemotherapy subsequently led to tumor regression, restoration of bowel patency and removal of the drainage tube. At present, both patients have remained ALS-free and drainage-free for 16 and 17 months, respectively. Our results indicate that this non-surgical approach with PTDD followed by weekly HDFL could serve as a safe and effective treatment for ALS in recurrent gastric cancer complicated by peritoneal carcinomatosis. (+info)Laparoscopy in afferent loop obstruction presenting as acute pancreatitis. (2/7)
BACKGROUND: We describe an afferent loop obstruction caused by an adhesion band in a case of distal gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y end-to-side jejunal anastomosis for cancer. METHODS: An initial clinical presentation of acute pancreatitis was ruled out by a computed tomography scan, which revealed intestinal obstruction; it was then confirmed on laparoscopy. Definitive treatment was laparoscopic adhesiolysis. A complete review of the literature concerning afferent loop obstructions is presented. RESULTS: The treatment was successful, with minimal postoperative pain, and the 5-day hospital stay was uncomplicated. The patient remains asymptomatic at 1-year follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: The authors advocate minimally invasive surgery as a complete diagnostic and therapeutic alternative to emergency laparotomy in cases where afferent loop syndrome is suspected, and acknowledge that prompt surgery has a higher rate of success and reduces operative morbidity and mortality. (+info)Malignant afferent loop obstruction following pancreaticoduodenectomy: report of two cases. (3/7)
We report two cases of malignant afferent loop obstruction following pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Case 1. A 70-year-old woman, who had undergone PD for pancreatic cancer, was referred to our hospital because of fever, jaundice, and abdominal pain. Ultrasonography and abdominal computed tomography demonstrated dilatation of a small bowel loop in the right upper quadrant. Laparotomy confirmed the diagnosis of local recurrent tumor causing occlusion of the afferent limb, and Roux-en-Y bypass was performed. Case 2. A 72-year-old man, who had undergone PD for cancer of the major papilla, was hospitalized with a high-grade fever and epigastric pain. Ultrasonography and abdominal computed tomography revealed a dilated afferent loop and multiple masses in liver. At laparotomy, widespread carcinomatosis was found to have caused afferent loop obstruction, and surgical bypass was performed. In conclusion, the surgical bypass seems to be an effective palliative treatment for afferent loop syndrome after PD. (+info)Biliary stone causing afferent loop syndrome and pancreatitis. (4/7)
We report the case of an 84-year-old female who had a partial gastrectomy with Billroth-II anastomosis 24 years ago for a benign peptic ulcer who now presented an acute pancreatitis secondary to an afferent loop syndrome. The syndrome was caused by a gallstone that migrated through a cholecystoenteric fistula. This is the first description in the literature of a biliary stone causing afferent loop syndrome.

(+info)Enterolith causing acute afferent loop syndrome after Billroth II gastrectomy: a case report. (6/7)
Enterolith is a rare cause of afferent loop obstruction following Billroth II gastrectomy. We report a case of acute afferent loop syndrome (ALS) due to a huge enterolith, necessitating prompt surgery. The clinical pattern may mimic acute cholangitis and/or pancreatitis. Delayed diagnosis may result in severe complications such as bowel ischemia or perforation. Only 14 reported cases of enterolith causing afferent loop obstruction were found in the English literature.

Radionuclide imaging with I-131 rose bengal and orally administered Tc-99m colloid was successfully used to show the presence of an afferent loop that was not visualized by radiographic, endoscopic, or ultrasonic procedures. (+info) Afferent Loop Syndrome refers to a type of neurological disorder that is characterized by an abnormality in the functioning of the afferent loop, which is a neural pathway that carries information from the peripheral nervous system to the central nervous system. This condition is also known as "dysfunctional afferent loop syndrome" or "afferent loop dysfunction."
The symptoms of Afferent Loop Syndrome can vary depending on the specific cause of the disorder, but may include:
* Pain: One of the most common symptoms of Afferent Loop Syndrome is pain, which can be severe and debilitating. The pain can be described as aching, burning, or shooting, and it can affect any part of the body.
* Numbness or tingling: Patients with Afferent Loop Syndrome may also experience numbness or tingling sensations in their limbs, especially in the hands and feet.
* Weakness: Some patients may experience weakness or fatigue in their muscles, which can make it difficult to perform everyday activities.
* Sensitivity to touch: Afferent Loop Syndrome can also cause hypersensitivity to touch, making even light contact painful.
* Balance and coordination problems: Patients with this condition may experience balance and coordination problems, which can increase the risk of falls and accidents.
The exact cause of Afferent Loop Syndrome is not yet fully understood, but it is believed to be related to abnormalities in the functioning of the afferent loop, which is a neural pathway that carries information from the peripheral nervous system to the central nervous system. The condition may be caused by a variety of factors, including:
* Nerve damage: Afferent Loop Syndrome can be caused by nerve damage or injury, such as that resulting from trauma or surgery.
* Neurodegenerative diseases: Conditions such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease can cause Afferent Loop Syndrome.
* Infections: Certain infections, such as Lyme disease, can damage the nerves and lead to Afferent Loop Syndrome.
* Autoimmune disorders: Conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus can cause inflammation and damage to the nerves, leading to Afferent Loop Syndrome.
There is no cure for Afferent Loop Syndrome, but various treatments can help manage the symptoms. These may include:
* Pain management medications: Patients with Afferent Loop Syndrome may be prescribed pain-relieving medications to help manage their discomfort.
* Physical therapy: Physical therapy can help improve muscle strength and coordination, as well as reduce fatigue.
* Occupational therapy: Occupational therapy can help patients with Afferent Loop Syndrome learn new ways to perform everyday activities that are less painful and more manageable.
* Lifestyle modifications: Making lifestyle changes such as avoiding overexertion, taking regular breaks, and practicing stress-reducing techniques can also be helpful.
It's important for individuals with Afferent Loop Syndrome to work closely with their healthcare provider to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses their specific needs and symptoms. With appropriate treatment and lifestyle modifications, many patients with Afferent Loop Syndrome are able to manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life.
Blind loop syndrome refers to a rare condition where there is an abnormal communication between the small intestine and the large intestine, leading to symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, and malabsorption of nutrients. This condition can occur due to various causes such as inflammatory bowel disease, surgical alterations, or congenital abnormalities.
The term "blind loop" refers to the fact that the communication between the small and large intestines is not normal, creating a loop that is not visible on standard imaging tests such as X-rays or CT scans. The condition can be difficult to diagnose and may require specialized testing such as a CT enteroclysis or a capsule endoscopy to visualize the blind loop and identify the underlying cause.
Treatment for blind loop syndrome depends on the underlying cause, but may involve medications to reduce inflammation, antibiotics to treat infections, or surgery to repair any anatomical abnormalities. In some cases, a procedure called a "blind loop resection" may be performed to remove the abnormal communication between the small and large intestines.
Overall, blind loop syndrome is a rare and complex condition that requires specialized medical care to diagnose and treat effectively.
