Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Our purpose was to describe the computed tomography features of transmural colonic ischemia in correlation with clinical, laboratory and histopathological findings of 14 patients who underwent colectomy (9 female and 5 male; mean age, 68 years). Seven patients died (50%). Transmural necrosis involved the right colon in 10 patients (10/14, or 72%). Eleven patients showed thickened colonic wall (11/14, or 79%), 10 pneumatosis (10/14, or 71%), 5 gas in the portal venous system (5/14, or 36%), and 14 fat stranding (14/14, or 100%).
