Abstract:
The diagnosis of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding in children faces many challenges,including the complexity of etiology and the limitations of diagnostic techniques. This article explored current diagnostic strategies,highlighted the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration,and assessed the potential of emerging technologies such as capsule endoscopy and double balloon enteroscopy.While these technologies offer new diagnostics,cost and operational complexity remain barriers to adoption. Future research directions should include improving access to technology and developing integrated diagnostic pathways to optimize the management of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding in children.
