CT imaging features of eosinophilic colitis in children.

Background: Eosinophilic colitis (EC) is a gastrointestinal disease of undetermined etiology whose clinical features overlap with those of the inflammatory bowel diseases. To the best of our knowledge, the CT imaging features of EC have not been described in children.

Objective: To report and analyze the clinical, imaging and histological findings in seven children with EC.

Angiographic embolization of arterial hemorrhage following endoscopic US-guided cystogastrostomy for pancreatic pseudocyst drainage.

Pseudocyst development is a common complication of chronic pancreatitis. Endoscopic cystogastrostomy is an alternative to percutaneous drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guidance is thought to decrease the procedural risk by identifying and avoiding intervening vasculature.
