“…Because of the non-negligible radiation exposure [9] enteroclysis has to be enclosed in an overall diagnostic concept. In case of abdominal disorders, if clinical symptoms do not suggest small bowel pathology, gastroduodenoscopy or colonoscopy should be preferred as an initial step in the diagnostic chain.…”

AIM:To retrospectively analyze changes in clinical indication, referring medical specialty and detected pathology for small bowel double-contrast examinations. METHODS:Two hundred and forty-one (n = 143 females; n = 98 males; 01. 01.1990-31.12.1990) and 384 (n = 225 females; n = 159 males; 01.01.2004-31.12.2010) patients underwent enteroclysis, respectively. All examinations were performed in standardized double-contrast technique. After placement of a nasojejunal probe distal to the ligament of Treitz, radiopaque contrast media followed by X-ray negative distending contrast media were administered. Following this standardized projections in all four abdominal quadrants were acquired. Depending on the detected pathology further documentation was carried out by focused imaging. Examination protocols were reviewed and compared concerning requesting unit, indication and final report. RESULTS:Two hundred and forty-one examinations in 1990 faced an average of 55 examinations per year from 2004-2010. There was an increase of examinations for gastroenterological (33.6% to 64.6%) and pediatric (0.4% to 7.8%) indications while internal (29.0% to 6.0% for inpatients and from 16.6% to 9.1% for outpatients) and surgical (12.4% to 7.3%) referrals significantly decreased. "Follow-up of Crohn's disease" (33.1%) and "bleeding/tumor search" (15.1%) represented the most frequent clinical indications. A total of 34% (1990) and 53.4% (2004-2010) examinations yielded pathologic findings. In the period 01.01.2004 -31.12.2010 the largest proportion of pathological findings was found in patients with diagnosed Crohn's disease (73.5%), followed by patients with abdominal pain (67.6% with history of surgery and 52.6% without history of surgery), chronic diarrhea (41.7%), suspected Crohn's disease (39.5%) and search for gastrointestinal bleeding source/tumor (19.1%). The most common pathologies diagnosed by enteroclysis were "changes in Crohn's disease" (25.0%) and "adhesions /strictures" (12.2%).CONCLUSION: "Crohn's disease" represents the main indication for enteroclysis. The relative increase of pathologic findings reflects today's well directed use of enteroclysis.
