  • Title: [Evaluation of tiny abnormal mucosal findings on double contrast barium enema study].
    Author: Niki T, Yamago Y.
    Journal: Nihon Igaku Hoshasen Gakkai Zasshi; 1990 Jun 25; 50(6):611-9. PubMed ID: 2235312.
    Abstract:
    Tiny abnormal mucosal findings on double contrast barium enema studies in 104 cases were classified into 5 patterns, as follows 1) small elevation, 2) elevation with barium fleck, 3) spotty barium fleck, 4) ill defined barium fleck and 5) barium fleck with halo. Each mucosal pattern was correlated with age, sex and symptoms, as well as the coexistence of the fine network pattern. They were compared with those of 86 control cases. 44 histologically proven cases were reviewed in order to clarify the clinical significance of the above 5 patterns. Incidence of the tiny mucosal findings was 4.8% (104/2186). 1) small elevation, 2) spotty barium fleck, 3) ill defined barium fleck and 4) barium fleck with halo were suggested the possibility of inflammatory bowel diseases.
