CT FINDINGS IN COLONIC WALL THICKENING IN VARIOUS
ETIOLOGICAL FACTORS- CASE SERIESABSTRACT NO- 59

INTRODUCTION-
  •  Colonic wall thickening is one of the common
    findings in patients with abdominal complaints .
  • Plain x ray, conventional barium enema,USG and CT
    with and without contrast are non invasive
    modalities useful in characterizing the bowel
    wall thickening.

3
  • CT can be helpful in the differentiation of
    intestinal disease.
  • Important features to look for are
  • Enhancement pattern
  • Length of involvement
  • Degree of mural thickening
  • Mesenteric changes
  • Lumen contents

4
Tuberculosis causing thickening of ceacum and
ascending colon
5
Tuberculosis causing thickening of ceacum and
terminal ileum
6
Tuberculosis causing thickening of ascending
colon ,ceacum and ileoceacal junction
7
Ischemic cause causing thickening of descending
and sigmoid colon
8
Ulcerative colitis causing thickening of rectum
,sigmoid and descending colon
9
Non Hodgkins lymphoma causing thickening of rectum
10
Lymphoma causing thickening of ceacum and
ascending colon
11
Adenocarcinoma causing thickening of sigmoid colon
12
Adenocarcinoma causing thickening of ascending
colon
13
Adenocarcinoma causing thickening of ascending
colon
14
Carcinoid causing thickening of terminal ileal
and ceacal loop
15
CONCLUSION-
  • Spectrum of CT findings in various etiologic
    factors were described and correlated with
    clinical finding and other imaging modalities.
  • CT plays a pivotal role in diagnosis, management
    and staging in malignant lesion.
  • CT findings were well correlated with the
    histopathology in our study series.
