case_images: A double-balloon enteroscopy and pathologic investigation were performed before and after 10-week treatment. A and B: The double-balloon enteroscopy revealed lymphangiectasia-like changes in the small intestinal mucosa. C: The pathologic analysis of small intestinal tissue before treatment showed chronic inflammation, edema in the submucosa, and lymphangiectasia (hematoxylin and eosin stainx200). D and E: The lymphangiectasia-like changes in the small intestinal mucosa vanished after diet therapy. F: The pathologic results after treatment were improved (hematoxylin and eosin stainx200).
