  • Title: Superior mesenteric artery syndrome: an unusual cause of Watson biopsy capsule retention.
    Author: Bonamico M, Roggini M, Pierro A, Dionisi Vici C, Bitti IM.
    Journal: J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr; 1985 Feb; 4(1):146-7. PubMed ID: 3981360.
    Abstract:
    The prolonged intestinal retention of a Watson biopsy capsule in a 12-year-old girl with chronic diarrhea is reported. Radiological investigation showed a duodenal obstruction due to superior mesenteric artery syndrome. A preliminary barium study of the upper gastrointestinal tract, before performing blind intestinal biopsies, may decrease the incidence of similar complications.
