Obscure gastrointestinal bleeding from an ampullary tumour in a patient with a remote history of renal cell carcinoma: a diagnostic conundrum.

Metastasis of renal cell carcinoma to the ampulla of Vater is a rare occurrence. The outlined case, which presented as an upper gastrointestinal bleed, is only the eighth such reported case in the English-language literature. This case is the longest reported time interval between surgical nephrectomy to presentation with ampullary metastasis at 17.5 years. The ampullary source of bleeding in this case was initially obscure and missed by conventional gastroscopy. Diagnosis was made with a side-viewing endoscope, emphasizing the usefulness of this instrument in the investigation of active bleeding from a small bowel source.

The Crohn's Disease Activity Index, its derivatives and the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire: a review of instruments to assess Crohn's disease.

The Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) has been used to measure Crohn's activity for over a quarter of a century. The development of the CDAI is reviewed and its reliability and validity are examined. Instruments used to assess Crohn's disease that were developed subsequent to the CDAI, including the Harvey-Bradshaw Index, the Cape Town Index and a three-variable version of the CDAI (modified for survey research), are similarly reviewed. The most recent instrument to assess Crohn's disease, the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire, which assesses patients in the domains of bowel, systemic, emotional and social function, is also discussed.
