CT of pseudomembranous colitis.

D Brunner, C Feifarek, D McNeely

    Gastrointestinal Radiology
    |January 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen, initially for suspected abscess, incidentally revealed colon wall thickening. This led to the diagnosis of pseudomembranous colitis.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Radiology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Computed tomography (CT) is a key imaging modality for abdominal pathologies.
    • Peritoneal abscesses require prompt diagnosis and management.
    • Diagnostic imaging can reveal incidental findings unrelated to the primary indication.

    Observation:

    • A patient underwent abdominal CT to investigate a suspected peritoneal abscess.
    • The CT scan incidentally showed an irregularly thickened colonic wall.

    Findings:

    • The observed colonic wall thickening was indicative of pseudomembranous colitis.
    • This highlights the potential for incidental diagnoses during imaging.

    Implications:

    • Pseudomembranous colitis can present with subtle imaging findings.
    • Radiologists should be vigilant for incidental findings suggestive of other conditions.
    • Early diagnosis of pseudomembranous colitis is crucial for effective treatment.
