Dr. Anagha Vaidya Deshpande, Dr. Nitin R Bhutada

Abstract :

Aims & objectives:– 1) To differentiate non neoplastic and neoplastic causes of bowel wall thickening on CT examination. 2) To characterize different neoplastic causes of bowel wall thickening Materials and Methods:– This prospective study of 80 patients suspected to have bowel pathology were evaluated with two slice spiral CT scanner, somatom, Siemens (Germany) at Tertiary care centre, from December 2016 to August 2018. Reasult:– 1) Bowel wall thickening involved large bowel ( 46%) more commonly than small bowel (31%) and in 23% cases both large and small bowel involved.. 2) Neoplastic causes were most common cause for bowel wall thickening accounting 52% cases. 3) Tuberculosis was second common cause of bowel wall thickening (18%). 4) Inflammatory, edematous and vascular causes constitute 11%, 5%, 4% cases respectively.
