This case series illustrates the clinical presentation and radiological findings of two patients in whom the diagnosis of a Giant Colonic Diverticulum (GCD) was histologically confirmed. We also discuss the pathogenesis and differential diagnosis.
In one case, the patient had no previous large bowel symptoms and intra operatively no other colonic diverticula were found. Both were treated with surgical resection.
The preoperative diagnosis of GCD is made radiographically, and the importance of the early recognition of radiological findings, especially in asymptomatic disease, is emphasised.
本病例系列阐述了两名经组织学确诊为巨大结肠憩室(GCD)患者的临床表现及影像学检查结果。我们还讨论了其发病机制及鉴别诊断。
其中1例患者既往无大肠相关症状,术中未发现其他结肠憩室。二者均接受了手术切除治疗。
GCD的术前诊断依靠影像学检查,强调了早期识别影像学表现的重要性,尤其是在无症状疾病中。
