Left colon stenosis caused by tuberculosis.

The authors present a case of intestinal tuberculosis affecting exclusively the left colon causing severe undernourishment, abdominal pain, and bowel obstruction with a sealed colonic fistula in a 10-year-old child. These clinical characteristics and difficulties led to a diagnosis of intestinal tuberculosis in childhood. Intestinal tuberculosis affecting exclusively the colon is very rare, and differential diagnosis with Crohn's disease is difficult. Surgical complications are frequent, especially intestinal obstruction, and can be treated in most cases by resection of the affected segment and primary anastomosis.

Case report: tuberculous colitis mimicking Crohn's disease.

Although intestinal tuberculosis is rare in this country, increasing numbers of patients are now being seen, particularly in the immigrant population. We present the history of a lady who had acute diarrhoea and in whom the radiological and endoscopic findings looked very similar to those seen in Crohn's disease. The radiological presentation included widespread aphthous ulceration, a feature that has rarely been reported in tuberculous colitis.

Ultrasonic patterns in inflammatory bowel disease.

Ultrasound examination was performed in 90 patients with varying bowel pathology. Ultrasound reliably demonstrated thickening of the bowel. In addition, the pattern of abnormality seen in Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis was different, and corresponded to the pathological changes seen in these disease processes. The pattern of bowel abnormality seen in other bowel diseases with an inflammatory aetiology generally corresponded to either the Crohn's or ulcerative colitic pattern. The appearances are described, together with findings in other non-neoplastic diseases of the bowel.

The lymphogram in abdominal tuberculosis.

Lymphograms of 11 patients with histologically proven abdominal tuberculosis have been assessed in an attempt to define a typical pattern of appearance in retroperitoneal lymph glands. Glandular enlargement, poor glandular filling and lymphovascular obstruction were present. A gradient of abnormality with more marked adenopathy in the upper para-aortic chain extending to a lesser involvement below in the iliac chain was demonstrated in keeping with a retrograde spread of the tuberculosis process from the abdominal lymphatics cauded along the retroperitoneal chain. Lymphography may be valuable in cases where data from clinical observations and routine radiological studies is inconclusive in cases of vague abdominal disease.

Duodenal tuberculosis.

The clinical and radiological features in 30 cases of duodenal tuberculosis are presented. The patients are divisible into two groups on the basis of their presenting features. Twenty-two had symptoms and signs of gastric or duodenal obstruction, and eight patients had dyspepsia suggesting peptic ulceration. In the first group, laporotomy showed that the duodenal obstruction was due to extrinsic compression by matted tuberculous lymph nodes in the majority; there was only five intrinsic strictures. In patients with dyspepsia there were bulbar and post-bulbar ulcers accompanied by more widespread mucosal changes, induration, and periduodenal lymphadenopathy. Bypass procedures were performed to relieve obstruction; no resection was possible because of the adherence of the lymph node masses.

Filiform polyposis in tuberculosis of the colon.

Extensive filiform polyps are demonstrated on a barium enema in a young Chinese woman with tuberculosis of the colon. All previously reported cases of polyposis occurred with either ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease.

Gastric tuberculosis: unusual presentations in two patients.

We report two cases of gastric tuberculosis (TB) in Nigerians. The first case concerns an elderly man initially thought to have abdominal malignancy but was subsequently found to have extensive and complicated gastric TB coexisting with chronic peptic ulcer disease. The second case involved the extremely rare condition of gastro-bronchial fistula in a young woman. In contrast to previously reported cases, it was of tuberculous origin and pulmonary symptoms were minimal. Both cases were radiologically evident.
