Popis: | Isolated edematous swelling of Bauhin's valve is a rare finding in cases of non-specific abdominal complaints in the lower right abdominal quadrant. The differential diagnosis includes entities such as tumours, chronic gastrointestinal inflammation and ileocoecal intussusception as well as specific infections, all of which require individual therapy. Based on two current cases and a review of the literature, aetiology, clinical picture and diagnostic findings of isolated edema of the ileocoecal valve are described. The typical ultrasound findings are presented. Due to its potential of excluding other diseases, modern ultrasound offers promising results in the case of isolated edematous swelling of Bauhin's valve. |
