INTRODUCTION
Slide 4-

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a broad term that describes conditions with chronic or recurring immune response and inflammation of the GIT. These are chronic relapsing disorders that cause inflammation within the gut, which damages the gut lining.
Slide 5-

CLASSIFICATION
Slide 6-

Typical IBD (2 Major Types): Ulcerative Colitis (Colitis Ulcerosa) Crohn’s Disease (Regional Enteritis) Atypical IBD: Lymphocytic Colitis Collagenous Colitis Ischaemic Colitis Diversion Colitis Indeterminate Colitis Bachet’s Disease
Slide 7-

ULCERATIVE COLITIS (UC) Ulcerative colitis (UC): the inflammatory response and mucosal damage are localized in the colon and almost always involve the rectum. The inflammation typically only occurs within the mucosal layer of the colon wall, but generally affects the entire length of the colon.
Slide 8-

CROHN’S DISEASE (CD) Crohn’s disease (CD): although it most commonly affects the bowel, Crohn’s disease can involve any part of the gastrointestinal tract from the mouth to the anus. Diseased segments, called “skip areas” are typically separated by stretches of normal bowel. Tissue damage often extends past the mucosal layer right through to the serosa. As the tissue heals, it may produce an abnormal tunnel- like connection, known as a fistula, which connects the intestine to another organ or tissue.

Slide 14-

ETIOPATHOGENESIS.. Environmental factors such as a lack of childhood exposure to germs, diet, or specific gastrointestinal infections, may trigger the onset and reactivation of disease leads to damage of the mucosal barrier. Bacteria that are normally well tolerated, stick to and invade the lining of the gut; for example, particular strains of E.coli. Defective immune responses fail to clear invading bacteria, which seems to activate other immune cells fuelling further inflammation.
Slide 15-

ETIOPATHOGENESIS… Damage to the intestinal mucosa caused by a prolonged inflammatory response leads to lesions and ulcers. This increases exposure to intestinal microbes. Loss of immunological tolerance to the normal gut microflora. A combination of these factors typically contribute to the development of inflammatory bowel disease.

TOXIC MEGACOLON THE COLON (TYPICALLY TRANSVERSE COLON) BECOMES DILATED TO ATLEAST 6 CM (USUALLY GREATER). THERE IS ADDITIONAL LOSS OF HAUSTRAL MARKINGS WITH PSEUDOPOLYPS EXTENDING INTO LUMEN.
Slide 30-

BOWEL WALL "THUMBPRINTING" (THE APPEARANCE OF "THUMBPRINT"-SHAPED PROJECTIONS) IS A RADIOLOGICAL SIGN OF THICKENING OF THE COLONIC WALL. IT OCCURS SECONDARY TO SUBMUCOSAL HAEMORRHAGE AND OEDEMA FROM CAPILLARY LEAKAGE.1 IT CAN RESULT FROM ANY PROCESS THAT LEADS TO OEDEMA OF THE BOWEL WALL.
Slide 31-

FLUOROSCOPY Features on barium small bowel follow-through include: mucosal ulcers aphthous ulcers initially deep ulcers (more than 3mm depth) longitudinal fissures transverse stripes when severe leads to cobblestone appearance may lead to sinus tracts and fistulae widely separated loops of bowel due to fibro-fatty proliferation (creeping fat) 2 thickened folds due to oedema pseudodiverticula formation: due to contraction at the site of ulcer with ballooning of the opposite site string sign: tubular narrowing due to spasm or stricture depending on chronicity partial obstruction

MRI: MRI enterography has no ionising radiation and an ability to evaluate both mural and extramural involvement. It has become an increasingly important part of management of patients with Crohn disease. MRI enteroclysis may be attempted in select patients.
Slide 58-

MRI ENTEROGRAPHY (MRE) MR enterography can be a useful technique for evaluation of the bowel. Inflamed loops of bowel demonstrate thickening and contrast enhancement. Extramural disease is where MRI excels: fibrofatty proliferation: thickening of extramural fat, which separates bowel loops equivalent to the fat halo sign on CT vascular engorgement: comb sign stenoses and strictures

MRI ENTEROCLYSIS MRI enteroclysis requires the placement of a nasojejunal catheter through which 1.5-2 L of contrast solution (e.g. water with polyethylene glycol and electrolytes) are injected 2. Spatial resolution is not as good as with conventional fluoroscopic enteroclysis, and thus minor mucosal changes are not apparent. When disease is transmural, with cobblestone appearance, the abnormalities are evident as high T2 signal linear regions, provided adequate distension is achieved 2.

Slide 70-

ULTRASOUND Ultrasound has a limited role, but due to it being cheap and available and not involving ionizing radiation, it has been evaluated as an initial screening tool for active disease and also for follow-up and to assess complications 4,20. Typically examination is limited to the small bowel and wall thickness assessed: bowel wall thickness should be <3 mm
Slide 71-

ULTRASOUND.. Other features on ultrasound20: non compressible, rigid, fixed bowel wall perienteric fluid creeping fat - echogenic area (representing proliferation of adipose tissue that extends around active inflammation) separating bowel loops gut signature - lost or preserved strictures - fibrotic (maintains gut signature) or inflammatory (loss of gut signature) abscess fistula
Slide 72-

ULTRASOUND… Ultrasound does of course have a significant role to play in the assessment of: perianal disease: rectal ultrasound hepatobiliary disease

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN UC & CD
Slide 79-

CROHN DISEASE VS ULCERATIVE COLITIS Due to the overlap in clinical presentation of Crohn disease (CD) and Ulcerative colitis (UC), imaging often has a role to play in distinguishing the two. Distinguishing features include: bowel involved CD: small bowel 70-80%, only 15-20% have only colonic involvement UC: rectal involvement 95%, with terminal ileum only involved in pancolitis (backwash ileitis)
Slide 80-

CD VS UC.. distribution CD: skip lesions typical UC: continuous disease from rectum up gender CD: no gender preference UC: male predilection
Slide 81-

CD VS UC… colonic wall fat halo sign seen in 61% of chronic UC cases, but only in 8% of CD 2 bowel wall is thicker in CD than in UC (when colon involved) 2  serosal surface smooth in UC (95%), irregular in CD (80%) 2
Slide 82-

CD VS UC.. perianal involvement UC: although rectal involvement is very common, perianal complication are not as frequently seen CD: common, seen in 82% of patients 2 stranding of ischiorectal fossa/perirectal fat (73%) fistulas/sinus tracts (22%)
Slide 83-

CD VS UC… mesenteric creeping fat CD: common in chronic cases UD: not seen, as small bowel not involved abscess formation CD: common, eventually seen in 15-20% of patients UC: uncommon
Slide 84-

CD VS UC.. extraintestinal complications gallstones: seen in 30-50% of CD patients 2 primary sclerosing cholangitis: more common in UC hepatic abscess: seen in CD pancreatitis: more common in CD
Slide 85-

Differential Diagnosis
Slide 86-

The differential diagnosis depends on the presenting symptom. When terminal ileitis is the main presentation, then differentials (adjusted for patient's age) include 1: acute appendicitis Yersinia ileitis mesenteric adenitis ileocaecal tuberculosis 9 malignancy
Slide 87-

When colonic involvement is the predominant feature then other considerations include: ulcerative colitis acute diverticulitis acute epiploic appendagitis ischaemic colitis pseudomembranous colitis infectious colitis
Slide 88-

CONCLUSION
Slide 89-

Inflammatory bowel diseases are chronic group of disorders which have a long course of disease with intermittent periods of active disease and remission. They can be easily diagnosed by multimodality approach combining clinical symptoms , colonoscopy, and radiology. Conventional radiological investigations like barium studies are still necessary for diagnosis of characteristic intramural changes.
Slide 90-

However the CT and MRI investigations are nowadays frequent and less invasive, useful for detection of extra intestinal manifestations of IBD. Colonoscopy at regular intervals is also must to look for progression of disease and malignancy in long standing cases
