    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • Ileocecal tuberculosis is a significant cause of morbidity, particularly in endemic regions.
    • It often presents with non-specific symptoms, mimicking other gastrointestinal conditions.
    • Delayed diagnosis can lead to complications such as intestinal obstruction.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the clinical presentation, diagnostic methods, and treatment outcomes of ileocecal tuberculosis.
    • To identify demographic patterns and common symptoms associated with this condition.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of surgical interventions in managing ileocecal tuberculosis.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective analysis of 92 cases of ileocecal tuberculosis.
    • Review of patient demographics, clinical symptoms, diagnostic findings, and treatment records.

  • Evaluation of diagnostic modalities, including Barium X-ray studies.

    • Main Results:

    • The disease predominantly affected individuals aged 20-40 years, with a higher incidence in females (57 vs. 35 males).
    • Most patients experienced symptoms for over a year prior to presentation.
    • Intestinal obstruction was a common clinical feature (44% subacute, 16% acute); pulmonary tuberculosis was infrequent.
    • Barium X-ray studies proved highly valuable for diagnosis.

    Conclusions:

    • Ileocecal tuberculosis presents a diagnostic challenge, often with prolonged symptom duration.
    • Surgical interventions such as bowel resection or short-circuiting yield satisfactory results.
    • Early diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial for favorable patient outcomes.
