A case of high jejunal obstruction due to stricture is reported. It is a rare form of late sequelae of neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis(NEC). Barium contrast study of the small bowel is recommended for earlier diagnosis and treatment before discharge from the hospital, even is an asympto-matic patient.

Intestinal intussusception caused by metastatic tumor is uncommon. Symptomatic small bowel metastases from lung cancer have been rarely reported. Here we report a case of intussusception with gastrointestinal bleeding induced by jejunal metastasis of non-small cell lung cancer with a review of the literature. A 52-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of melena. He had underwent right pneumonectomy and received systemic chemotherapy with radiotherapy for squamous cell lung cancer. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy and colonoscopy failed to reveal bleeding focus. Abdominal CT scan revealed jejunal intussusception and histologic examination of resected jejunum showed metastatic mass from lung cancer. In patients with small bowel obstruction and history of malignancies, possibility of small bowel metastatic tumor should be considered.

Postoperative leakage is a serious complication in patients after gastric surgery. It can lead to a rapid deterioration in the patient's condition and quality of life. Treatment is guided by the type of anastomosis and the patient's clinical status. The role of interventional radiology in gastrointestinal tract is evolving. Metallic stent placement has shown encouraging results for the palliation of gastrointestinal tract obstruction and fistula in malignant patients. We encountered a case of the leakage of jejunal end of Roux limb after total gastrectomy. This patient required a drainage procedure with long-term parenteral nutrition. We performed peroral placement of a covered metallic stent to avoid surgery and long-term parenteral nutrition, and he resumed adequate oral intake immediately after stent placement. This minimally invasive procedure is very promising for the treatment of a gastrointestinal fistula to avoid surgery and long-term parenteral nutritional support in selected cases.
