Radiologic findings on enteroclysis can help diagnose small bowel tuberculosis. Strictures were the most common sign, appearing in over 60% of patients, often in the jejunum.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Gastroenterology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Tuberculosis (TB) can affect the small bowel, presenting diagnostic challenges.
  • Enteroclysis is a key imaging modality for evaluating small bowel pathology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the radiologic appearances of small bowel tuberculosis (SBT) using enteroclysis.
  • To correlate imaging findings with disease patterns and complications.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of enteroclysis examinations in 265 patients with proven SBT over a decade.
  • Evaluation of radiologic findings including strictures, adhesions, ulcerations, and fold thickening.

Main Results:

  • Strictures were the most common finding (62.7%), typically short, concentric, and jejunal.

  • Adhesions (21.8%), ulcerations (9.1%), and thickened folds (6.4%) were also observed.
  • Complications included enteroliths, perforations, and fistulae.

    • Conclusions:

    • Enteroclysis reveals characteristic, though non-specific, radiologic findings suggestive of SBT.
    • Imaging findings can indicate SBT in high-risk populations, aiding diagnosis.
