Presentación
73 years hepatic transplantation, constitutional syndrome and immunosuppressive therapy. Colonoscopy: ulcerated lesion in cecum. Abdominopelvic TC: diffuse and segmentary symmetric thickening in wall cecum and ileal loops, low attenuation adenopathy and patchy airspace opacities in the right upper lobes.?
Discusión
DIFERENCIAL DIAGNOSIS ALGORITHMIC: SPECTRUM OF FIVEATTENUATION PATTERNS OBSERVED IN BOWEL WALL DISEASE: 1. Bowell wall thickening. a) focal 40cm suggest Benign, (except lymphoma 3 patterns: aneurismatic dilated wall, polypoid o adenopathy’s). 2. Pattern of attenuation: -White: ischemia or active inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Avid contrast material enhancement that uniformly affects the majority of the thickened bowel wall. Suggest 2 pathologies: (a) vasodilation and/or (b) injury to intramural vessels with accompanying interstitial leakage. “Shock bowel” diffuse ischemia of the small bowel in hypotensive adults who have sustained blunt trauma) white attenuation pattern represents a reversible ischemic. -Gray: ischemia, chronic IBD o radiation enteritis (RE) Stratified: ischemia/vasculitis, active IBD, infection, RE, portal hypertension - Black: pneumatosis ischemic (portal o vein gas), infection o benign. - Water halo: stratification within a thickened bowel wall that consists of either 2 o 3 (“target sign”: ) continuous, symmetrically thickened layers. Halo sign with two layers (double halo) is composed of either a higher-attenuation outer annular ring surrounding a second, is most valuable as an unequivocal observation of bowel wall injury, often of an acute nature. Infections, IBD, vascular disease o RE - The pattern of the fat halo sign refers to a three-layered target sign of thickened bowel in which the middle or “submucosal” layer has a fatty attenuation (<10UH) : colitis ulcerosa, RE .Diferencial diagnosis: - Mycobacteria’s - Sarcoidosis - Lymphoma
Conclusión
- Mycobacterium tuberculosis positive. Diagnosis: TBC cecoileitis. - Inmunosupresión, QTP, o immunotherapy : high risk reactivation TBC - Differential diagnosis algorithm is an useful tool.26.
