Diverticulitis13
Diverticula12
  • Colonic diverticulosis is the presence of one or more diverticula in the colon. (msdmanuals.com)
  • People who have colonic diverticulosis usually have several diverticula. (msdmanuals.com)
  • Diverticulosis is the condition of having multiple pouches (diverticula) in the colon that are not inflamed. (wikipedia.org)
  • Segmental colitis associated with diverticulosis (SCAD) is a condition characterized by localized inflammation of the colon between diverticula (interdiverticular mucosa) while sparing the diverticular orifices. (wikipedia.org)
  • Retained barium in colonic diverticula over time has previously been shown to be safe. (the-hospitalist.org)
  • X-ray imaging confirmed filling of multiple colonic diverticula with barium and the patient was asked to rotate positions to ensure filling of all diverticula. (the-hospitalist.org)
  • PURPOSE: If could be a potential pathophysiological connection between colonic diverticula and colonic superficial neoplastic lesions, beyond the shared risk factors, has been a subject of debate in the last years. (bvsalud.org)
  • METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study including asymptomatic patients who underwent a screening colonoscopy (patients with a positive fecal occult blood test under the regional program of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening), surveillance after polypectomy resection, or familiarity (first-degree relatives) between 2020 and 2021 to evaluate the association between diverticula and colonic polyps. (bvsalud.org)
  • A statistically significant association between adenomas or CRC alone and colonic diverticula was found (p = 0.045). (bvsalud.org)
  • CONCLUSIONS: This study showed a statistically significant association between diverticula and colonic adenomas. (bvsalud.org)
  • A study with a prospective design including both patients with diverticulosis and without colonic diverticula aimed at establishing the incidence of adenoma and CRC could help to answer this relevant clinical question, since a potential association could indicate the need for closer endoscopic surveillance.

Diarrhea2
  • Patients with diverticulosis sometimes develop nonspecific gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, including abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, and passage of mucus from the rectum. (msdmanuals.com)
  • Because water is normally absorbed from the colonic content, principally in the ascending, or right, colon, diarrhea can be caused by any inflammatory, neoplastic, or vascular disturbance of that part of the colon. (britannica.com)
