[Methods for treating chronic coprostasis].

Abstract

The indications for choice of a method for treatment of chronic colonic stasis have been developed. Use of direct, transrectal electrostimulation of the colon with simultaneous recording of mechanoelectrocolograms was effective in 85% of the patients. Intraoperative definition of a level of colonic resection contributed to prevention of the development of long-term disease recurrence.

Colonic tuberculosis mimicking Crohn's disease: case report.

BACKGROUND: Intestinal tuberculosis is a rare disease in western countries, affecting mainly immigrants and immunocompromised patients. Intestinal tuberculosis is a diagnostic challenge, especially when active pulmonary infection is absent. It may mimic many other abdominal diseases. CASE PRESENTATION: Here, we report a case of isolated colonic tuberculosis where the initial diagnostic workup was suggestive of Crohn's disease. Computed tomography findings however, raised the possibility of colonic tuberculosis and the detection of acid-fast bacilli in biopsy specimens confirmed the diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, this case highlights the need for awareness of intestinal tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of chronic intestinal disease
