Findings: An abnormal focus of labeled red cell extravasation is noted in the cecum corresponding to the region of the patient's polypectomy. There is reflux of tracer into the terminal ileum and movement prograde into the right colon. |
DDx: Given the recent endoscopy with polypectomy, the findings of this study are most consistent with a gastrointestinal bleed from that site. |
Diagnosis: Post-polypectomy cecal bleed. |
