Overview
Features present on CT enteroclysis consistent with celiac diagnosis may include: Jejunoileal fold pattern reversal, ileal fold thickening, vascular engorgement, prominent mesenteric lymph nodes may cavitate with a fluid-fat level, submucosal fat deposition in long standing cases, and features suggestive of splenic atrophy.
