| 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) |

| diverticulitis, colonic | Inflammatory complications of colonic diverticulosis in which diverticula may undergo perforation with abscess formation. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| diverticulitis | <pathology, surgery> Inflammation of a diverticulum, especially inflammation related to colonic diverticula, which may undergo perforation with abscess formation. Sometimes called left sided appendicitis. (18 Nov 1997) |
| diverticulitis, bleeding from | Diverticular bleeding typically occurs intermittently over several days. Colonoscopy is usually performed to confirm the diagnosis and exclude bleeding from other causes. Thermal probes cannot be employed to stop active diverticular bleeding. Therefore, surgical removal of the bleeding diverticula is necessary for those with persistent bleeding. (12 Dec 1998) |
| diverticulitis, treatment of acute | Antibiotics are usually needed. Oral antibiotics are sufficient when symptoms are mild. Liquid or low fibre foods are advised during acute diverticulitis attacks. In severe diverticulitis with high fever and pain, patients are hospitalised and given intravenous antibiotics. Surgery is needed for persistent bowel obstruction or abscesses not responding to antibiotics. (12 Dec 1998) |
| diverticulosis/diverticulitis and fibre | High fibre diets help delay the progression of diverticulosis and, at least, reduce the bouts of diverticulitis. (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 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) |
| 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) |
| colonic smear | A group of cytologic specimens containing material from the mouth (oral smear), oesophagus and stomach (gastric smear), duodenum (paraduodenal smear), and colon, obtained by specialised lavage techniques; used principally for the diagnosis of cancer of those areas. (05 Mar 2000) |
