Whipple's disease demonstrated by double contrast small bowel enema with barium and methylcellulose
Abstract:
The radiologic findings on small bowel enema examination using barium and methylcellulose (SBE + Ba + MC) in a patient with Whipple's disease before and after treatment are described. The changes on SBE + Ba + MC corresponded well to the clinical and morphologic picture. The advantages of this double contrast technique compared to the enteroclysis with barium alone are demonstrated. The SBE + Ba + MC is a good method to demonstrate the manifestations of Whipple's disease involving the small bowel and the mesentery.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
