ISOLATED SMALL TERMINAL ILEAL ULCERS: THE DIAGNOSTIC UTILITY OF ENDOSCOPIC BIOPSIES
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 30
Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic utility of endoscopic biopsies in isolated terminal ileal ulcers. Though a large number of terminal ileal biopsies are being performed frequently, the value added to diagnostic possibility is not clear, and there are few published data on the diagnostic value of TI biopsies. Hence, this study was performed to obtain objective data on this subject, as there are currently few data available in the literature. This observational study group included a total of 61 men and women with indication for colonoscopy and terminal ileal biopsy. Patients in whom the colonoscopy revealed isolated terminal ileal ulcers of size < 1 cm were included in the study. In the study, Terminal ileal mucosa with non-specific changes was identified, in 78.7%. Majority 29.5% were between 31-40years of age, predominantly men.
