The cathartic colon: pathological findings and radiological/pathological correlation.

F P Urso, M J Urso, C H Lee

    Radiology
    |September 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary

    Cathartic colon, a condition previously only described radiologically, shows distinct pathological features. This case study highlights its pathological characteristics, which mimic chronic ulcerative colitis on both radiological and pathological examination.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Pathology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Cathartic colon is a radiological diagnosis.
    • Pathological characteristics of cathartic colon remain unreported.
    • Distinguishing cathartic colon from other colonic diseases is clinically important.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the pathological characteristics of cathartic colon.
    • To correlate radiological findings with pathological findings in a case of cathartic colon.
    • To differentiate cathartic colon from chronic ulcerative colitis.

    Main Methods:

    • Case report of a patient with cathartic colon.
    • Radiological examination of the colon.
    • Pathological examination of colonic tissue.

  • Correlation of radiological and pathological findings.

    • Main Results:

    • Detailed pathological description of cathartic colon provided.
    • Radiological and pathological features of cathartic colon are presented.
    • The study found similarities between cathartic colon and chronic ulcerative colitis.

    Conclusions:

    • Cathartic colon has specific pathological features.
    • Pathological examination is crucial for diagnosing cathartic colon.
    • Cathartic colon can be pathologically and radiologically mistaken for chronic ulcerative colitis.
