Case 3 – MR Enterography – Handout
Ashley Monroe
MR enterography
MR Enterography was performed according to department protocol. Cine imaging and dynamic post contrast imaging of the bowel was also performed.
The bowel is well demonstrated, with good distribution of contrast and bowel distention. There is evidence of small bowel wall thickening and oedema, with abnormalities in the fold pattern, likely resulting from mucosal inflammation. Small bowel dilatations are noted. Cine imaging demonstrates normal peristalsis. There is no evidence of penetrating disease. No fistula or abscess is identified. There are no foci of stenosis or stricture.
Extraenteric assessment: The small and large bowel mesenteric fat is normal, as is the omentum. Mesenteric lymphadenopathy, likely reactive, is seen.
Conclusion: Abnormal MRI Enterography. Clinical correlation required.
