“…This is consistent with Eid et al (11) who stated that the main advantage of CT enterography over the routine abdominal CT is its ability for detailed study of the bowel wall and mucosal pathology. This target is realized through two main factors: Bowel loop distention, and neutral luminal contrast.…”

KEYWORDSMultidetector computed tomography enterography (MDCTE); Three dimensional volumerendering (3D); Multiplanar reformatted (MPR); Maximum-intensity-projection (MIP) Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the role of MDCT enterography in the diagnosis of small bowel diseases. Patient and methods: Thirty nine patients suspected to have small bowel diseases were examined with 64 MDCT enterography. Result: MDCT enterography easily diagnosed small intestinal diseases which confirmed with histopathological results, operative data and follow up. Conclusions: MDCT can be used as a front-line imaging and one stop imaging modality for the detection of small bowel diseases. However, biopsy is still the confirmatory diagnostic method.

“…Most patients are usually asymptomatic, being identified by the typical target sign on abdominal ultrasound or CT. The small-bowel intussusception can be transient and self limiting if it is less than 3 cm long [6]. A common feature of intussusception in CD is its recurrent character [14][15][16].…”

“…Due to this variable clinical picture an accurate diagnosis is difficult. Patients can present anemia and weight loss, chronic diarrhea/constipation, recurring abdominal distension and pain, intussusception, fatigue, and irritability [5,6]. Laboratory tests in CD show malabsorption.…”

Celiac disease in toddler with atypical onset. Case report.

Celiac disease is a chronic immune-mediated disorder induced in genetically susceptible individuals after ingestion of gluten proteins. An early diagnosis is of highest importance. Ultrasound might show small-bowel intussusception. We present a toddler with one month history of diarrhea and abdominal ultrasound showing ileo-ileal intussusception. Specific serological markers for celiac disease were positive. The duodenal endoscopy showed normal architecture but pathology indicated fully developed celiac disease (Marsh 3c). In conclusion, toddlers, who have even a short history of diarrhea with ultrasound showing ileo-ileal intussusception, can be suspected of celiac disease by positive serologic markers and can be confirmed by duodenal biopsy and pathology.

“…Moreover, Eid et al identified the need for improved diagnostic measures to help effective treatment of the conditions, since he had identified a trend of under diagnosis, specifically in the USA [94]. Therefore, Eid et al supported the possible implication of the review of correlation for CD and obesity to act as an agent for public awareness and health care providers to effectively diagnose and treat the conditions [94].…”

Objectives: The primary objective of this review was to provide a systematic review of the literature on the relationship between CD and obesity. Further, the reviewer had the purpose of conducting an investigation on this correlation, ranging from pediatrics to adults, in specific areas such as the mechanism of the two conditions and the nutritional interventions. The mechanism review involved finding any pathogenic and pathophysiological link between the two conditions and investigating the possible association in clinical evidence and manifestations and of the symptoms. As a result, the present research was designed to establish a paper that can effectively inform not only the public but health care providers, concerning the importance of proper and time-sensitive diagnosis. Methods: In order to achieve these objectives, the researcher conducted desk-based research, which involved a comprehensive review of numerous journal articles drawn from various publishers. The search strategy involved the use of both internal and external secondary sources of information obtained from Science Direct, PubMed, Journal of Paediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, and The European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, among others. Moreover, the search strategy also considered the mechanistic pathology, functional physiology, and human intervention. Results: The key pathophysiological findings indicated that CD and obesity have a connection in the context of the predisposing factors, which are genetic, environmental and immunological factors. Further, the two conditions also show connection in the aspects of human nutritional interventions, where the intervention for CD was established to involve a GFD, however, some patients have been recorded as becoming obese once they start the treatment process. Conclusion: Conclusively, it was important establishing a link between obesity and CD based on the clinical implications of the findings, as well as the general healthcare field; where, the present paper points out for the proper diagnosis of both conditions, whether the symptoms are atypical or not. Hence, it was important to provide a precise nutritional intervention for future patients, which may involve an introduction of a GFD before diagnosis, and strict follow-up and education for the patients on the importance of this intervention.
