Reversible ischemic colitis, a rare complication in marathon runners, typically affects the cecum and proximal colon. This study details its computed tomographic findings, aiding diagnosis in athletes experiencing gastrointestinal distress.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Radiology
  • Sports Medicine

Background:

  • Marathon running can cause various lower gastrointestinal symptoms.
  • Reversible ischemic colitis is a rare but recognized complication.
  • Computed tomographic (CT) features of this condition in runners are not well-documented.

Observation:

  • Three marathon runners presented with symptoms suggestive of lower gastrointestinal distress.
  • Abdominal CT scans were performed to evaluate the cause of symptoms.
  • Specific imaging patterns were observed in the colon.

Findings:

  • The study identified characteristic CT findings of reversible ischemic colitis in marathon runners.
  • The primary affected area on CT was the cecum.
  • Involvement of the proximal colon was variable among the cases.

Implications:

  • This research provides novel insights into the radiological manifestations of reversible ischemic colitis in athletes.
  • Understanding these CT features can improve diagnostic accuracy.
  • Early and accurate diagnosis can guide appropriate supportive management for affected runners.
