Title: Radiographic demonstration of longitudinal ulcers in patients with ulcerative colitis. Author: Suekane H, Iida M, Matsui T, Yao T, Fujishima M. Journal: Gastrointest Radiol; 1990; 15(4):333-7. PubMed ID: 2210209. Abstract: During the past 10 years, 122 patients with ulcerative colitis were diagnosed by double-contrast barium enema and colonofiberscopy with endoscopic biopsy. Among them, five patients (4%) had longitudinal ulcers and eccentric deformities in the colon. Other radiologic findings included thumbprinting (two cases), sacculations (two cases), and inflammatory polyps (four cases). The possibility of the concomitance of ischemic colitis in cases of ulcerative colitis is discussed, due to their radiographic similarities.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
