8. There is a fistula between the esophagus and
trachea
9. • Extensive oesophageal cancer (black arrow) has eroded
into the posterior aspect of the carina (*) forming a
fistula.
• Enlarged lymph nodes are present in the anterior
mediastinum (white arrow).
10. Oesophageal carcinoma
There is thickening and enhancement of the
right lateral oesophageal wall
In this case, the left wall of the oesophagus is
relatively normal
19. Gastrointestinal stromal tumour
• There is a smooth ovoid mass arising from the anterior wall of the
stomach(arrow).
• This causes an indentation of the stomach. L, liver; P,pancreas; St,
stomach.
27. intestinal obstruction
The small intestine dilates and fluid
accumulates, Gas liquid level is
visible, gallbladder stone,
calculus of intrahepatic duct
35. Intussusception
• Intussusception causing small bowel obstruction:
Coronal contrast-enhanced CT demonstrates a
segmental jejunojejunal intussusception
(arrows),causing an early or partial proximal small
bowel obstruction.
• This was a case of metastatic melanoma
36. • While transient intussusceptions are a common
incidental finding, an intussusception causing
obstruction should raise suspicion for an
underlying lesion(tumor) and prompt surgery.
37. Crohn’s disease
• Narrowing. (a) There is a long stricture (arrows) in the ileum due to
Crohn’s disease and an abnormal mucosal pattern. There is also separation
of the abnormal segment from other loops of the bowel.
• (b) CT in the same patient demonstrating marked thickening of the
abnormal loop of small bowel, with a narrowed lumen (white arrows).
Several dilated loops of small bowel are also seen (blackarrows), due to
some obstruction at the level of the stricture.
38. Crohn’s disease
• It may cause disease in several different parts
of the small and large intestine, often leaving
normal intervening bowel, the affected parts
being known as skip lesions.
39. Lymphoma
• CT with the bowel opacified by contrast agent.
• The wall of all the bowel loops is considerably thickened.
• The arrows point to a portion of bowel which is particularly
involved by lymphoma.
