“…Despite the benefits described, the peroral pneumocolon is not an alternative to the SBFT, but should be used as an adjunct, especially when further clarification of the diagnosis is needed (4). Bowel preparation: Accurate radiology of the colon is the result of thorough cleansing of the wall and lumen before examination (8). Bowel preparation is important because of the danger of mistaking a tumour for the ileocecal valve or fecal material (9).…”

Lesions in the terminal ileum are often difficult to visualize on routine small bowel follow-through (SBFT) and may require further investigation to rule out associated abnormalities in the ileocecal valve or cecum. This may be done by peroral pneumocolon at the same sitting as the SBFT, but may require bowel preparation. Two cases of cecal carcinoma that were initially diagnosed as Crohn's disease on SBFT without further investigation of the cecum are reported.

Preoperative films of 176 patients operated upon for Crohn's disease were reviewed and compared with microscopic findings in the resected specimens in order to assess the accuracy of the radiographic techniques used. It was found that a diagnosis of the presence and the extent of the disease was often dependent on the demonstration of minor mucosal ulcers and less marked submucosal edema. These lesions were not adequately demonstrated by any of the techniques used for small bowel examination, but were consistently revealed by the double-contrast technique used for examination of the colon.
