Overview
Fluoroscopy barium studies rarely used in diagnosis of ischemic colitis. Contrast enema is abnormal in 90% of patients but is rarely used for diagnostic purposes.
Other imaging findings
Fluoroscopy barium studies may be used in diagnosis of ischemic colitis. Contrast enema is abnormal in 90% of patients but is rarely used for diagnostic purposes.[1]
The findings are:
- Segmental region of abnormality,
- Thumbprinting which is classically obliterated by air insufflation,
- Spasm,
- Ulcerations serrated mucosa,
- Stricture from fibrosis, which is a late complication of ischemia.
