Özet

Tc-99m dextran scintigraphy was performed on a 16-year-old male patient with protein losing enteropathy. Abnormal leakage of the radiotracer was observed in the right upper lumbar area that moved over time and excreted in the stool which was suggestive of protein loss. It is concluded that Tc-99m dextran is useful in the detection of protein losing enteropathy which is not detected by extensive radiological and endoscopic examination.
