Abnormal ileocecal junction

Sonopath Forum

Abnormal ileocecal junction

– 13 year old FS DSH with history of suspected IBD diagnosed in 2010

– has been on low dose prednisolone longterm which has controlled symptoms

– now is vomiting intermittently and has weight loss; bloodwork pending

– u/s showed thickened ileum at the IC junction as well as proximal colon wall thickening

– no LN’s were identified and rest of scan unremarkable

Would an FNA of this region be helpful or even possible?

Fna in an oblique manner

Fna in an oblique manner hitting the hypoechoic muscularis as it transitions into the hyperechoic ring. Likely not eneoplastic but solid finding.

Jacquie, is that hyperechoic ring change colon or is that the junction? Do you have a longitudinal clip also?
