    DIAGNOSTIC DIFFERENTIEL ENTRE INFECTION ET INFLAMMATION DANS LES MALADIES INFLAMMATOIRES DE L'INTESTIN

    Differential diagnosis between inflammation and infectious processes is often difficult at the onset of a diarrheal syndrom. In addition of the possible etiopathogenic role of some infectious agents in IBD, superinfection may lead to misdiagnosis in case of active IBD. Several clinical, biological and morphological features are available and may be strongly helpful for the differential diagnosis. The intraluminal content and the lesions limited to the mucosa should be distinguished by laboratory methods, endoscopy with histological support and/or radiological barium study. When fistulae or abscesses are suspected, sonography represents the best imaging modality for the initial investigation, although computed tomography remains the most accurate procedure with a 95% sensitivity. Clinical signs as well as biological, radiological or nuclear techniques should be of great interest in case of systemic infectious or inflammatory complications.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

    In Ulcerative Colitis (UC), the rectum is always involved, but the disease may be extended to the left colon (distal colitis) or the entire organ (pancolitis). Secondary perineal lesions (erythema, fissures, hemorrhoids) are limited to local irritation related to the diarrheic syndrome; specific ano-rectal lesions are related to the mucosal inflammatory process, but others pathological situations may be observed and are due to the postoperative status (stenotic ileo-anal anastomosis, pouch inflammation). Ano-rectal localisation of Crohn's Disease (CD), sometimes underestimated, is clinically more complex (abscess, fistula, ulcer, etc) and requires precise classical (endoscopy, conventional radiology) or more modern (echo-endoscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance) investigations. The treatment is more difficult (medical conservative, "a minima" or more extended surgery). Differential diagnosis, symptoms, methods of investigation and appropriated therapeutical choices are successively developed.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

    An unusual cause of subocclusion in Crohn's disease.

    No full text
    Enteroliths as a cause of intermittent small bowel obstruction is a uncommon clinical entity. We present the case of a patient with Crohn's disease in whom a false primary enterolith--an apricot seed--was responsible for numerous episodes of subobstruction. The association of Crohn's disease with different types of enterolith is discussed.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
