| Enteritis:
This interesting case in visualized with a series of coronal,
sagittal, volume rendered, and MIP images. It shows small bowel obstruction
with thickened small bowel with increased vascular enhancement. This
patient had a history of colon cancer and the stody was done for evaluation
of suspected small bowel obstruction. The cause of the inflamed bowel
was enteritis secondary to chemotherapy. The patient was treated conservatively
and the enteritis resolved. |
