1
Q

2 types of ileus

A

obstruction of the small intestine.
Paralytic :peristalsis stops

mechanical obstruction: physical blockage of bowel - tumors, adhesions, or hernia.

Intestinal loops proximal to site of obstruction are markedly dilated with gas.

Dilation produces radiographic sign commonly called the “circular staircase or herringbone” pattern,

2
Q

CROHN’S DISEASE

A

inflammation in small intestine

Usually occurs in the ileum, but it can affect any part of the digestive tract, from the mouth to the anus.

Inflammation extends deep into the lining of the affected organ.

Can cause pain & diarrhoea

3
Q

Celiac disease

A

a form of malabsorption disease (sprue) : affects proximal small bowel, especially the proximal duodenum & increased ileal folds

It commonly involves the insoluble protein (gluten) found in cereal grains(se.g. wheat, barley, and rye).

4
Q

Colitis

A

inflammatory condition of the large intestine.

Intestinal mucosa can appear rigid & thick &haustral markings may be missing along involved segment

5
Q

Ulcerative colitis

A

Chronic condition

coinlike ulcers

seen during BE as multiple ring-shaped filling defects that create a “cobblestone” appearance along the mucosa the mucosal wall

6
Q

Diverticulum

A

outpouching of the mucosal wall

Patient may develop peritonitis if a diverticulum perforates mucosal wall.

7
Q

Neoplasm

A

growth benign or malignant

8
Q

adenocarcinoma

A

malignant

9
Q

Intussusception

A

telescoping or invagination of one part of intestine into another

infants

10
Q

Polyps

A

project inward

11
Q

Volvulus

A

twisting of a portion of intestine on its own mesentery, leading to a mechanical obstruction.

leads to obstruction and necrosis -> decreased blood flow
