Radiology of the continent ileostomy reservoir: II. Findings in patients with late complications

Abstract: During an 8-year period, 238 barium double-contrast studies performed in 162 patients with continent ileostomy reservoirs who had signs and symptoms of late complications (malfunction of the valve, nonspecific inflammation of the mucosa, stenoses, hernias, and fistulas) showed radiologic abnormalities. The aim of the present study is to depict the radiologic findings in patients with late complications of continent ileostomy reservoirs. With radiologic examination, the correct diagnosis of valve malfunction wa… Show more

“…Of 54 patients with the radiologic diagnosis slight inflammation, 29 were classified as having slight changes at endoscopy, but 25 were endoscopically normal. Most likely, the reason for the discrepancy between radiology and endoscopy is that the reservoirs over time lose some of their normal mucosal pattern (2) and that these changes were interpreted as inflammation on radiographs. Mucosal biopsy specimens of normally functioning continent ileostomies display slight to moderate inflammatory changes in most patients (6), and specimens therefore would not have been helpful in these cases.…”

“…Endoscopic access to the afferent ileal limb may be difficult and a contrast radiological pouchogram may be more useful, but radiology may over‐diagnose inflammation . Carefully performed and interpreted contrast radiology examinations are capable of correctly diagnosing the nature of valve malfunction in up to 96% of cases .…”

“…Whilst double‐contrast barium examinations have generally been superseded by cross‐sectional imaging and water‐soluble contrast studies, large historical barium radiological studies provide a useful reference for the understanding of Kock pouch anatomy and dysfunction . These studies highlight the importance of dynamic studies to diagnose valve eversion and slippage, for example use of the Valsalva manoeuvre and removal of the catheter, whose presence may be artificially stabilizing a faulty valve . In the future, dynamic MRI may prove useful in this regard.…”
