The role of enteroclysis and roentgen anatomy of jejunum and ileumin Crohn's disease

Introduction The aims of this research were: I) to establish the value ofen-teroclysis in detection of morphological changes of jejunum and ileum in cases with suspected Crohn's disease and 2) to establish types of morphological changes of jejunum and ileum in patients with Crohn's disease. Material and methods The study compared two groups of people who voluntarily accepted to be examined: a control group and a study group. The control group included 11 healthy people, without gastrointestinal symptom. The study group included 16 patients with Crohn's disease. Single and double-contrast enteroclysis were performed in both groups. Afterwards, we defined parameters which were compared in these groups. Conclusions We concluded that according to statistics there are significantly lower values of the width of the jejunal and Heal lumen and the number of mucosa/folds (per I cm) of the jejunal and Heal wall in the examined group in contrast to the control group. Also, according to statistics there are significantly higher values of the width of the jejunal and ileal wall and the thickness of mucosal folds of the jejunum and ileum in the study group in contrast to the control group. Ciljevi ovog istrazivanja bili su da se utvrdi tip morfoloskih promena na jejuno-ileumu, kao i pouzdanost enteroklize u detekciji ovih promena u slucaju sumnje na Kronovu bolest. Tokom istrazivanja komparirane su dve grupe ljudi koji su dobrovoljno pristali na istrazivanje: ispitivana i kontrolna grupa. Kontrolnu grupu je cinilo jedanaestoro ljudi bez simptoma od strane gastrointestinalnog trakta. Grupu ispitanika je cinilo sesnaest pacijenata s Kronovom bolescu. U obe pomenute grupe uradili smo jednokontrastnu i dvokontrastnu enteroklizu. Zatim, definisali smo parametre koje smo poredili izmedju ispitivane i kontrolne grupe. Zakljuceno je da postoje statisticki znacajno nize vrednosti sirine lumena jejuno-ileuma i broja sluzokoznih nabora na l cm duzine zida jejuno-ileuma u ispitivanoj grupi u poredjenju s kontrolnom grupom, te da postoje statisticki znacajno vise vrednosti debljine zida jejuno-ileuma i debljine sluzokoznih nabora jejuno-ileuma u ispitivanoj grupi u poredjenju s kontrolnom grupom.
