Abstract
PEREIRA, Fernando. Caso Endoscópico. Nascer e Crescer [online]. 2010, vol.19, n.4, pp.295-296. ISSN 0872-0754.
We present the clinical case of a 16 year-old boy with excess body weight (weight-98 kg, height-1,68 m and IBM=34,7) and hypertension (136/60 mmHg). Laboratory tests of blood and urine were normal as was the abdominal ultrasound examination. We perform an upper endoscopy and introduced an intragastric balloon that is shown in the picture. Six months later the boy lost twelve kilograms and normalized the arterial pressure. The balloon was removed.
