Abstract: 
Capsule endoscopy is being widely used to identify the origin of an obscure gastrointestinal bleeding. Capsule retention is one of its complications. Herein, we present 2 cases of a retained capsule one in a gastric diverticula that was managed endoscopically, and one in jejunal diverticula managed by small bowel resection.
