[Radiologic diagnosis of Payr disease in children]
Diagnosing Payr disease in children is effectively achieved using irrigoscopy. Key signs include right colic flexure falling and contrast retention in the large intestine.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Radiology
- Gastrointestinal Imaging
Background:
- Payr disease, a rare condition, presents diagnostic challenges in pediatric patients.
- Accurate diagnosis is crucial for timely intervention and management.
Purpose of the Study:
- To summarize the experience with diagnosing Payr disease in children using radiologic methods.
- To identify key roentgenologic signs indicative of Payr disease.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective analysis of 119 pediatric cases diagnosed with Payr disease.
- Utilization of irrigoscopy (barium enema) as the primary diagnostic tool.
Main Results:
- Falling of the right colic flexure was a significant finding.
- Abrupt kinks of the transverse colon were observed.
- Retention of contrast substance in the right portion of the large intestine was a consistent sign.
Conclusions:
- Irrigoscopy is a valuable method for diagnosing Payr disease in children.
- Specific roentgenologic findings, including right colic flexure displacement and contrast retention, are characteristic of the condition.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
