Abstract It is uncertain whether terminal ileum intubation should be performed routinely during colonoscopy, as there uncertainty regarding its diagnostic value. The aim of the present study to assess yield colonoscopy according indications for colonoscopy.

Many studies dealing with trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS) colitis in rats have been carried out referring only to the colon. In humans, ulcerative colitis (UC) can extend a variable distance into the terminal ileum in a phenomenon known as backwash ileitis (BWI). The aim of this study was therefore to examine the effect of TNBS-induced colitis on different aspects of the rat ileum and jeju...

Diverticulosis of the terminal ileum is very rare. We report a case of diverticulitis of multiple diverticula of the terminal ileum. A 67-year-old Japanese woman consulted to our hospital because of abdominal pain and melena. A blood laboratory revealed severe anemia increased CRP (11.21 mg/dl). The upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopic examination revealed no significant changes. The col...

Perivascular epithelioid cell tumours (pecomas) are rare mesenchymal tumours that are characterized by perivascular epithelioid cell differentiation and immunoreactivity to myogenic and melanocytic markers. These tumours can be classified as benign, uncertain malignant potential, or malignant. Because of the rarity of pecomas, their cause and clinical prognosis remain unclear. To the best of ou...

Nodular lymphoid hyperplasia (NLH) in the small intestine is a rare benign lesion, characterized by the presence of multiple small nodules on the surface of the intestine. To define the clinicopathological and colonoscopic characteristics in Chinese patients with ileal NLH, we collected 65 patients with NLH in the terminal ileum from the endoscopic database in our hospital and clinical data fro...

BACKGROUND Recurrence and severity of Crohn's disease mucosal lesions after "curative" ileal resection is assessed at endoscopy. Intramural lesions can be detected as increased wall thickness at Small Intestine Contrast Ultrasonography (SICUS). AIMS To assess after ileal resection whether: 1) SICUS detects recurrence of Crohn's disease lesions, 2) the intestinal wall thickness measured at the...

We report a 76-year-old male with enterovesical fistula. Symptoms were abdominal pain with urination, pneumaturia and fecaluria. History of transurethral resection of bladder polyps (benign). Barium and abdominal CT with contrast: intestinal fistula from terminal ileum and sigmoid to the bladder, which was thickened and showed inflammatory changes. We perform laparoscopic surgery.
