Summary
Special modifications of biopsy instruments have been developed for peroral intestinal biopsy in children. The risk of intestinal hemorrhage or perforation is low with a proved method, and biopsy is justified in any of the case where it is indicated. As the procedure requires only a short time it is not too annoying for the children. The investigation of small intestinal biopsy specimens is of great diagnostic value in coeliac disease, disaccharide-intolerance and other rare forms of malabsorption.
Zusammenfassung
Für die Dünndarmbiopsie im Kindesalter wurden besondere Ausführungen einiger Instrumente entwickelt. Das Risiko einer Darmblutung oder -perforation ist mit den bewährten Verfahren sehr gering und kann bei entsprechender Indikation vertreten werden. Der Eingriff läßt sich in kurzer Zeit durchführen und ist für die Kinder zumutbar. Die Untersuchungsmethode hat Bedeutung bei der Diagnose einer Cöliakie, einer Disaccharid-Intoleranz sowie einigen selteneren Formen der Malabsorption.
