Complimentary Imaging Modalities for Investigating Obscure Gastrointestinal Bleeding: Capsule Endoscopy, Double-Balloon Enteroscopy, and Computed Tomographic Enterography

<div>Images in a patient presenting with melena and diagnosed with adenocarcinoma. Capsule endoscopy was retained near the lesion, with no clear picture showing the lesion. (a) Image from double-balloon enteroscopy indicated a circumferential protruding lesion (arrow) with narrowed lumen in the proximal jejunum. (b) Dual-phase computed tomographic enterography showed a protruding lesion (white arrow) and retained capsule (red arrow) in the jejunum. (c) X-ray revealed the retained capsule (arrow).</div>
