[Multiple diverticula of the jejunum as a cause of recurrent sub-ileus conditions].

The authors describe the case of a 72-year-old man who suffered from marked digestive complaints for almost 50 years. They depended on the amount of food and the composition of the diet and during the last six years they led to attacks of severe epigastrial pain and backache associated with subileous conditions. Only enteroclysis led to a diagnostic solution. It revealed a parapapillary diverticulum of the duodenum and multiple diverticulosis of the upper jejunum. CT and scintigraphy, using autologous leucocytes labelled with 99mTc indicated the possible diverticulitis. Simple dietetic and therapeutic provisions eliminated completely the painful attacks and the patient's complaints were reduced to occasional slight flatulence.

[Dynamic scintigraphy of the esophagus in young persons with functional algesic-dyspeptic disorders of the upper digestive tract].

The authors examined a group of 30 young people aged 19-23 years who suffered from chronic algic dyspeptic complaints of the upper type persisting for 3-36 months. The prerequisite for inclusion into the group were normal results of endoscopy, the physical finding and standard biochemical examinations. In all these patients dynamic scintigraphy of the oesophagus was made. A quite normal finding was recorded only in three patients (10%). In the remaining 27 (90%) major or minor abnormalities were recorded. This is in marked contrast with the results of dynamic scintigraphy of the oesophagus in 19 healthy volunteers of the same age. In the latter a normal finding was obtained in 15 (79%) and deviations from it only in four subjects (21%). Dynamic scintigraphy of the oesophagus is a simple easily performed method which in a selected group of patients has become an objective criterion of their chronic complaints.

[Alcohol block of the celiac plexus in severe visceral pain].

The authors present their own experience with percutaneous alcohol block of the coeliac plexus. Between April 1988 and December 1991 they used it in 22 patients. Except one patient the others suffered from severe pain of abdominal organs associated with carcinoma of the pancreas. The first four operations were made using angiography, the remainder under CT control. During evaluation of results two weeks after the intervention complete regression of pain was recorded in six patients. A partial effect was achieved in 11 patients, and the intervention failed in five patients. The intervention was repeated in four patients. The authors emphasize that the procedure is relatively simple and safe, and if successful, makes it possible to reduce or even eliminate opiates. It improves the quality of the remaining life of the patient.

[The importance of enteroclysis in Crohn's disease].

The authors discuss the importance of enteroclysis in Crohn's disease. In a group of 22 patients the finding was negative only in four where the primary localization of the disease was beyond the small intestine. In the remaining patients enteroclysis either confirmed the extent of the affection assessed during irrigoscopy or more frequently revealed a more extensive affection of the small intestine than was originally assumed, provided evidence of an affection not revealed by other methods, drew attention to imminent obstruction or another serious complication and in two instances established the diagnosis. Enteroclysis in Crohn's disease is a valuable method which cannot be replaced by another examination.
