Abstract :

Objective: The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the role of CT enterography in detection and characterization of small bowel diseases. Material and Methods: A total of 50 patients (16–70 years), including 30 males and 20 females who were suspected of having small bowel disorders on the basis of clinical examination underwent CT enterography examination on a 128–slice CT Scanner prospectively using neutral oral contrast (Polyethylene glycol). Results: Out of 50 patients Grade 4 and grade 3 distension of the small intestine was seen in 28 and 20 cases respectively. Out of 50 patients, 36 patients presented with symmetrical small bowel thickening and 14 patient present with asymmetrical bowel thickening. Among the non–neoplastic pathologies Intestinal tuberculosis was the most common diagnosis in 28 cases, Crohns disease was diagnosed in 6 cases, stricture was diagnosed in 6 cases, duodenal diverticula in 2 cases, MBO and intussusception in 1–1 cases respectively. Among the neoplastic pathologies Small bowel tumors were seen in 6 cases with majority of them adenocarcinoma (3 cases), lymphoma was seen in 2 cases and GIST was seen in 1 case. Conclusion: CT enterography is an effective modality to evaluate small bowel disorders. It can not only assess mural and intraluminal small bowel pathologies but also assess extraintestinal findings so as to make correct diagnosis.
