The role of enteroclysis and roentgen anatomy of jejunum and ileumin Crohn's disease

Introduction The aims of this research were: I) to establish the value ofen-teroclysis in detection of morphological changes of jejunum and ileum in cases with suspected Crohn's disease and 2) to establish types of morphological changes of jejunum and ileum in patients with Crohn's disease. Material and methods The study compared two groups of people who voluntarily accepted to be examined: a control group and a study group. The control group included 11 healthy people, without gastrointestinal symptom. The study group included 16 patients with Crohn's disease. Single and double-contrast enteroclysis were performed in both groups. Afterwards, we defined parameters which were compared in these groups. Conclusions We concluded that according to statistics there are significantly lower values of the width of the jejunal and Heal lumen and the number of mucosa/folds (per I cm) of the jejunal and Heal wall in the examined group in contrast to the control group. Also, according to statistics there are significantly higher values of the width of the jejunal and ileal wall and the thickness of mucosal folds of the jejunum and ileum in the study group in contrast to the control group.
