Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 3
Abstract
Gastrointestinal bleeding is a common and complex condition which requires a multispecialty approach for diagnosis, evaluation and management. The length of gastrointestinal tract as well as the variety of processes that can involve the gastrointestinal tract further complicate the evaluation. MDCT is a recently developed diagnostic tool for the evaluation of bowel diseases causing gastrointestinal bleeding. It not only helps in defining the extent of gastrointestinal disease, it also helps in evaluation of extra intestinal manifestations of the disease. Study was conducted by performing CT scan of abdomen and pelvis on a 64 Slice Optima CT 660 (Wipro GE Healthcare Pvt. Ltd.). The CT examination revealed pathological findings in 29 (80.55%) out of the 36 patients which were bowel wall thickening in 19 (52.8%), mass lesion in 14 (38.9%), polyp in 2 (5.5%), diverticulitis in 1 (2.7%), colitis in 1 (2.7%), varices in 1 (2.7%), hemorrhoids in 1 (2.7%) and vascular aneurysm in 1 (2.7%) patient with gastrointestinal bleeding. The maximum number of patients i.e. 9 (25%) were in the age group of 71-80 years. There was a female predominance with 23 (63.88%) females and 13 (36.11%) males.
