RESUMO

A 32-year-old woman from Cameroon presented with rectal blood loss due to a focally infiltrating adenocarcinoma of the rectosigmoid in the presence of an active intestinal schistosomiasis (Schistosoma intercalatum). A correlation between chronic intestinal schistosomiasis and the development of colorectal cancer has been suggested in the literature, but is not uniformly accepted. However, the case presented here reinforces this suggestion. In a patient with rectal blood loss who comes from an area where intestinal schistosomiasis is endemic, the possibility of a colorectal carcinoma should be considered in the diagnosis.

RESUMO

At our hospital ultrasound (US) is used as an initial screening procedure in all patients with abdominal symptoms. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of this policy on the detection of ileocecal Crohn's disease. We retrospectively studied all patients with a new diagnosis of ileocecal Crohn's disease from our institute over the period 1990-2001. The final diagnosis was based on clinical follow-up and pathological, surgical, US, and other radiological findings. We noted who referred the patient to the radiology department, what the initial clinical presumption was, and what the first imaging study was. US diagnoses were determined from the initial US report and US findings were registered from the images. There were a total of 47 patients (20 men, 27 women) with a mean age of 30 years and a median age of 27 years (range 14-75 years). In all patients the initial imaging study was an abdominal US. Using US, a confident diagnosis of ileocecal Crohn's disease was made in 35 of the 47 patients, Crohn's disease was suggested among the differential diagnosis in 10, and an incorrect diagnosis was made in 2 patients. In 28 of 47 patients, the referring physician did not consider Crohn's disease when requesting the initial US examination. In eight patients with appendicitis-like symptoms, the US findings strongly influenced the decision to refrain from operation at that point in time. US, when used as a low-threshold diagnostic procedure, is a reliable and noninvasive means for making an early diagnosis of ileocecal Crohn's disease in patients who present with atypical symptoms. It may prevent both unnecessary therapeutic delay as well as unnecessary surgery.
