Angiodysplasias account for 40% of the cases of recurrent or chronic lower GI bleeding in the elderly. Origin: Gr. Plassein = to form (27 Sep 1997) |
| colonic diverticula | Diverticula, which are herniations of mucosa and submucosa through or between fibres of the major muscle layer (muscularis propria) of the colon. Usually multiple, it occurs in 50% of western populations above the age of 70, but is much less common in other populations. Can cause bleeding and episodes of severe inflammation. Synonym: colonic diverticula. (05 Mar 2000) |

| colonic diverticulitis | <radiology> Perforation of diverticulum with intramural/localised paracolic abscess, incidence: 20-25% of diverticular disease, pneumoperitoneum rare CT findings: inflammation of pericolonic fat (98%), diverticula (84%), bowel wall thickening of 4-12 mm (70%), abscess (47%), fluid with or without air of peritonitis (16%); fistula (14%); obstruction (12%); intramural sinus tract (9%); ureteral obstruction (7%) extraluminal contrast with BE: double tracking: longitudinal sinus tract (Crohn disease: longer segments of greater than 10 cm), abscess; fistula see: diverticular disease of colon (12 Dec 1998) |
