Overview
Among patients with ischemic colitis, the plain X-rays are often normal or show non-specific findings. X-rays are mainly used to check for visceral perforation and pneumoperitoneum in ischemic colitis. Other noticable signs on x-ray include colonic thumbprinting from mural thickening, pneumatosis coli, a sign of advanced disease, and dilation or air-fluid levels.
X-Ray
The x-ray results are as follows:[1][2][3]
- X-rays are mainly used to check for visceral perforation and pneumoperitoneum.
- Among patients with ischemic colitis, the plain X-rays are often normal or show non-specific findings.
- Thumbprinting from mural thickening.
- Pneumatosis coli, a sign of advanced disease.
- Showing only dilation or air-fluid levels.
- In a series of 73 patients, plain abdominal radiography showed colonic distension in 53% of patients or a pneumoperitoneum in 3%.
