Saccular dilation of the small intestine in Crohn's disease
Acta Chirurgica Scandinavica. Supplementum
|January 1, 1986
Abstract:
A saccular dilation of the small intestine, 15 X 15 cm2 large, blocked by a hard introitus was seen in a patient with a one-year history of diarrhea. Histopathological examination showed inflammatory infiltration with ulceration between the normal and distended intestine within a length of 1 cm. The mucosa, submucosa and muscularis layers were thicker than normal with infiltration of monocytes. The histological diagnosis was Crohn's disease.
