DISCUSSION
討論
In a patient who presents with a chronic history of abdominal pain and altered bowel habits, inflammatory bowel disease should be a consideration.
在一位表現有慢性腹痛病史和排便習慣改變的患者中,應考慮炎性腸炎。
A CE CT abdomen is the investigation of choice in such cases.
在這種案例中,慢性子宮內膜炎(CE)腹部CT可作為一個研究選項。
In the above case there were multiple areas of small bowel thickening with skip areas, few long segment small bowel thickenings, mesenteric vascular engorgement and enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes .
在上文的例子中有小腸多個區域增厚及新生區域干預,小腸部分較長的腸段增厚,腸系膜血管充血伴有多發性腸系膜淋巴結腫大。
All these findings favour the diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease, most likely Crohn's.The differentials under consideration were ulcerative colitis and tuberculosis.
所有這些發現支持了炎性腸病的診斷,最可能是克羅恩病。不同的觀點有潰瘍性結腸炎和結核病。
In ulcerative colitis there is continuous involvement of the bowel without any skip areas starting from the rectum and proceeding proximally.
在潰瘍性結腸炎中,持續累及小腸但無任何新生區域,開始于直腸和周圍臨近部分。
In tuberculosis there is predominant involvement of the caecum and ileocaecal junction and necrotic, caseous lymphadenopathy. Skip areas and mesenteric vascular engorgement are absent.
在結核病中,明顯累及盲腸與回盲部交接處并有壞死和干酪樣淋巴結病。 不存在新生區域和腸系膜血管充血。
FINAL DIAGNOSIS
最終診斷
Crohn's disease
克羅恩病
