| CTT | Colonic transit time |

| TCA | Total colonic aganglionosis |
| 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 diverticular haemorrhage | <radiology> Not related to diverticulitis, incidence: 3-47% of diverticulosis, location: 75% located in ascending colon (larger neck and dome of diverticula), massive painless rectal hemmorhage, extravasation of radionuclide tracer, angiographic contrast pooling in bowel lumen, Treatment: transcatheter infusion of vasoconstrictive agents (Pitressin), embolization (Gelfoam) see: diverticular disease of colon (12 Dec 1998) |
| pancreatic diverticula | The ventral and dorsal endodermal buds from the embryonic foregut that constitute the primordia of the parenchyma of the pancreas. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| diverticula | The plural of diverticulum. As a person ages, pressure within the large intestine (colon) causes pockets of tissue (sacs) that push out from the colon walls. A small bulging sac pushing outward from the colon wall is a diverticulum. Diverticula can occur throughout the colon but are most common near the end of the left side of the colon, the sigmoid colon. (12 Dec 1998) |
| diverticula ampullae ductus deferentis | The irregular sacculations of the ampullary part of the ductus deferens near its termination in the ejaculatory duct. Synonym: diverticula ampullae ductus deferentis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| diverticula of ampulla of ductus deferens | The irregular sacculations of the ampullary part of the ductus deferens near its termination in the ejaculatory duct. Synonym: diverticula ampullae ductus deferentis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| diverticula of colon | 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) |
| oesophageal diverticula | <radiology> Pharyngo-oesophageal (Zenker), cricopharyngeal spasm, Killian's dehiscence, posterior; if lateral, usually on left, Treatment: diverticulopexy with or without myotomy, mid-oesophageal, pulsion, not traction (not associated with TB), dysmotility, usually asymptomatic, distal (epiphrenic), dyity (including DES and achalasia), symptomatic, usually on right, Treatment: excision and myotomy, ** all due to PULSION (12 Dec 1998) |
| oesophageal ulceration or diverticula | <radiology> Oesophagitis, reflux, infection, caustic agent, drug-induced, radiation, oesophageal diverticula, intramural pseudodiverticulosis (12 Dec 1998) |
| colonic | Relating to the colon. (05 Mar 2000) |
| colonic angiodysplasia | <gastroenterology> Abnormal collections of blood vessels (vascular ectasias) usually located in the right colon in persons over age 60. 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 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) |
| colonic diverticulosis | <radiology> Acquired herniations of mucosa and muscularis mucosa through the muscularis propria with wall components of mucosa, submucosa, and serosa = false diverticula of propulsion type, lateral diverticula: arise between mesenteric and antimesenteric teniae on opposite sides, antimesenteric intertenial diverticula: through the weakness in the muscular wall where nutrient arteries pass, giant sigmoid diverticulum: large gas-containing cyst (air entrapment secondary to ball-valve mechanism) arising in the left iliac fossa see: diverticular disease of colon (12 Dec 1998) |
| colonic fistula | Internal, a fistula between the colon and a hollow viscus, external, a fistula between the colon and the skin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| colonic flora | <microbiology> The bacteria normally residing within the colon. (18 Nov 1997) |
| colonic polyp | <gastroenterology> A pedunculated growth from the mucosal lining of the colon. most are benign but have the potential to become malignant (cancer). Can present clinically with blood in the stools. (27 Sep 1997) |
| colonic pseudo-obstruction | Functional obstruction of the colon. (12 Dec 1998) |
