Computed tomography in Whipple disease.

A M Rijke, T H Falke, R R de Vries

    Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography
    |December 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Computed tomography (CT) revealed a large mesenteric mass and thickened jejunal folds in a Whipple disease case. This imaging modality is crucial for identifying extraintestinal Whipple disease manifestations.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Radiology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Whipple disease is a rare, chronic, infectious disease caused by Tropheryma whipplei.
    • It primarily affects the small intestine but can manifest in various organs.
    • Diagnosis often involves endoscopic biopsy, but imaging plays a role in identifying complications and extent.

    Observation:

    • A case of Whipple disease presented with specific findings on computed tomography (CT).
    • CT demonstrated a large, low-density mesenteric mass.
    • Thickened folds in the jejunum were also observed, consistent with intestinal involvement.

    Findings:

    • The computed tomography (CT) findings included a significant mesenteric mass and jejunal wall thickening.
    • Barium studies confirmed the abnormalities seen on CT.
    • Notably, retroperitoneal manifestations were absent in this particular case.

    Implications:

    • Computed tomography (CT) is valuable for visualizing the mesenteric and intestinal manifestations of Whipple disease.
    • The study highlights CT's utility in detecting extraintestinal involvement, aiding in comprehensive diagnosis and management.
    • Radiologists and gastroenterologists should consider CT in the diagnostic workup of suspected Whipple disease.
