Article Synopsis
- * The patient presented with abdominal pain and vomiting, and imaging confirmed the obstruction and knot formation, leading to unsuccessfully attempted endoscopic extraction.
- * Surgical intervention revealed and removed the bezoar and knot without bowel resection, and the patient eventually recovered, resuming LCIG treatment after a month.
Purpose: To prospectively compare the sensitivity and specificity of unenhanced low-dose multi-detector row computed tomography (CT) with those of contrast material-enhanced standard-dose multi-detector row CT in patients suspected of having acute diverticulitis.
Materials And Methods: Institutional review board approval and informed consent were obtained. One hundred ten consecutive patients (40 men, 70 women; age range, 30-82 years; mean, 57 years) suspected of having acute diverticulitis underwent unenhanced multi-detector row CT with 4 x 2.
