Q

Xray difference between SBO and ileus

A

🎥Ileus : Uniformly dilated bowel loops throught small and large bowel.
Air is present in colon/rectum

Q

Complications of Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis

A

Biliary stricture

Cholangitis

Cholelithiasis

Cholangiocarcinoma. , colon CA , biliary Cancer

Cholestasis ( dec fat soluble vitamins , Osteoporosis)

20
Q

PSC associated dx

A

90% pts have IBD with UC

Annual colonoscopies (due to risk of Ca)

21
Q

CF of mild UC.

A

<4 watery bowel movements per day

Hematochezia is rare or intermittent.

22
Q

Labs of mild UC

A

No anemia
Normal ESR / CRP

23
Q

Ttt if Mild UC

A

5-ASA (meselamine , salfasalazine )

🧚🏼‍♀️For dx confined to rectosigmoid give meselamine enemas or suppositories

🧚🏼‍♀️Oral ASA for more extensive dx

🧚🏼‍♀️Corticosteroids for acute flares , severe chronic Dx.

24
Q

Pilonidal sinus RF

A

Young obese 15-30
Sedentary lifestyle
Deep gluteal clefts

25
Q

Pilonidal sinus CF

A

👼🏼Painful fluctuant mass cephalad to anus in the intergluteal region

👼🏼Mucoid , purulent , bloody drainage

👼🏼Pain worse with activity that stretch overlying skin (bending down)

26
Q

Mechanism of Pilonidal sinus

A

Edematous infected hair follicle in the intergluteal region becomes occluded

Infection spread subcut and forms abscess Which ruptures and creates pilonidal sinus.

As pt sits and stands hair and debris are force into sinus tract causing recurrent infections and foreign body reactions.

27
Q

Ttt of Pilonidal dx

A

🫁Drain abscess

🫁Collect debris followed by excision of sinus tracts

🫁Open closure preferred due to dec recurrece rates., despite longer healing times.

28
Q

Acute radiation proctitis onset
Pathogenesis , and CF

A

Post radiation onset <-8weeks

Mechanism:

       Direct mucosal damage

CF :

       Diarrhea 
       Mucosal discharge 
       Tenesmus 
       Minimal bleed
29
Q

Acute radiation proctitis Endoscopy

A

Severe erythema
Edema
Ulceration

30
Q

Ttt of radiation proctitis

A

Antidiarrheals (loperamide )

Butyrate enemas.

31
Q

Chronic radiation proctitis
Timings
Mechanism
CF

A

Onset : >3months to years
(Presents mostly for the first time within first year)

Mech :
Obliterative endarteritis
Chronic mucosal ischemia
Submucosal fibrosis

CF :

        Severe bleeding 
        Sometimes Strictures with constipation and rectal pain
32
Q

Endoscopy of chronic radiation proctitis

A

Multiple telangiectasia
Mucosal pallor
Friability

33
Q

Ttt of chronic radiation proctitis

A

Endoscopic thermal coagulation

Sucralfate or glucocorticoid enemas

34
Q

Mechanism of constipation in Chronic rectal proctitis

A

Progressive fibrosis impairs rectal compliance and cause anorectal stricture formation.

SS : Constipation , fecal incontinenece and fecal impaction.

35
Q

Mech of hemorrhage in Chronic Rectal proctitis

A

Submucosal fibrosis and obliterative endarteritis causes tissue hypoxia and promotes neovascularization and telangiectasia formation which are prone to bleeding causing hematochezia and blood loss anemia.

36
Q

Pt with LLQ pain and constipation has now guarding and rebound tenderness

A

Diverticular perforation

37
Q

Classic pain sequence of free perforation of GIT ?

A

Free perforation of Git in the setting of ongoing inflammation (diverticulitis )
Has classic pain sequence :

🍁At the moment of perforation :
Sudden severe pain (with vomiting , light headedness , syncope)

🍁After perforation to 2hrs:
Dec pain as the inflammed organ decompresses

🍁>2hrs after perforation:
Generalized constant pain due to peritonitis (+ - sepsis and shock)

Perforation
Decompression
Peritonitis.

38
Q

Ttt of diverticular perforation

A

🌞Microperforation:

Medical ttt (AB , bowel rest)

🌞Macroperforation /free perforation;
(Free air or contrast leak on CT)
Surgical Em

39
Q

Ascariasis Identification

A

Signs of SBO plus peripheral eosinophia and travel history

40
Q

Transmission of ascariasis

A

Ingested egg hatch in colon ➡️ larvae penetrate the colon wall ➡️ larvae then spread via blood to lungs ➡️ coughed up and swallowed and mature into adult worms in small intestine

41
Q

CF of ascariasis

A

A/S infection mostly.
High worm burden leads to severe features

Pulm manifestations : cough , eosinophilic pneumonitis

Intestinal S/S : 1-2 Mo later
Non specific GI symptoms (NV diarrhea , abd pain
Adult worms can cause SBO

42
Q

Ttt of ascariasis

A

NG suction
IV fluids and electrolytes

Albendazole mebendazole

43
Q

Cecal volvulus RF

A

🫂Young patient
🫂Constipation
🫂Congenital mobile cecum
(Mesentery failed to fuse with parietal peritoneum)

44
Q

Cecal volvulus

A

Cecum and ascending colon twist around their mesentery

45
Q

DX of cecal volvulus

A

CT scan (Xrays are more diagnostic in sigmoid V)

46
Q

Ttt of cecal volvulus

A

Emergency Surgical resection (right colectomy)

(Endoscopic detorsion is not advised , very low success rate)

47
Q

Signs if incarceration in hernia

A

Pain
NV
Changes in bowel habits
Inability to perform daily activities

If pt doesnt have these signs he can be counseled to seek hernia repair if it becomes symptomatic (do watchful waiting esp if pt wants to delay himself)

Most pts with AS hernias develop symptoms in 10y (70% cases)
