Ischemic colitis demonstrated by computed tomography

B Jones, E K Fishman, S S Siegelman

    Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography
    |December 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    Computed tomography (CT) is effective for diagnosing ischemic colitis, a condition causing colon wall thickening. This imaging technique aids in managing colonic ischemia by visualizing submucosal changes and lumen narrowing.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Abdominal Imaging

    Background:

    • Ischemic colitis diagnosis often relies on clinical presentation and endoscopic findings.
    • Conventional imaging like barium studies may have limitations in certain scenarios.

    Observation:

    • Computed tomography (CT) revealed irregular, segmental submucosal thickening in the colons of two patients with abdominal pain.
    • One patient's CT demonstrated right colon lumen narrowing, mimicking thumbprinting, indicative of ischemia.
    • CT served as an alternative to barium studies for monitoring treatment in the second patient.

    Findings:

    • CT accurately identified colonic wall abnormalities consistent with ischemic colitis.
    • The imaging modality visualized submucosal edema and lumen compromise.

  • CT findings correlated with the clinical diagnosis of ischemic colitis.

    • Implications:

    • Computed tomography offers a valuable tool for diagnosing colonic ischemia.
    • CT can guide management decisions and monitor treatment response in ischemic colitis.
    • This study highlights CT's utility as an alternative to traditional diagnostic methods for colonic ischemia.
