The anatomic variations of colon detected by abdominal multi-detector computed tomography
Journal Title: Dicle Tıp Dergisi - Year 2012, Vol 39, Issue 2
Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the frequency and clinical importance of anatomic variations of the colon. Materials and methods: Multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) of the abdomen for various indications was performed in 1300 patients in radiology department between January 2010 and September 2011 were retrospectively analyzed to investigate the anatomic variations of colon. Results: The total number of patients undergoing MDCT scans was 1300, of which 640 were female and 660 male. The mean age of patients was 43.02 years (2-92). The number (%) of colons according to their position were as: 34 (% 2,6) anterior and 14 (% 0,9) posterior hepatodiafragmatic, 40 (% 3) interposition of colon between psoas and right kidney, 3 (% 0,2) interposition of colon between psoas and left kidney, 4 (% 0,3) right retrorenal, 16 (% 1,2) left retrorenal, 2 (%0,2) bilateral, 10 (% 0,8) pancreaticogastric, 5 (% 0,4) retrosplenic and 64 (% 4,9) high caecum. Conclusion: Knowledge of the anatomic variations of colon is important for surgical planning or interventional radiologic procedures. Multi-detector computed tomography allows detailed visualization of these variations.
