Can someone please decipher this CT scan diagnosis? - adenopathy more condition_treatment
The following are the diagnosis of abdominal and pelvic CT, he had done. With all the technical jargon, I have no idea what it means.
1. The results raise the question of the obstruction with a large amount of stool in the colon.
2. More likely than a cut-added food in the stomach, but a bezoar is not excluded.
3. The degenerative changes of the SI joints, advanced
right.
Clinical Indications: intermittent abdominal pain. He lost 11 pounds in 9 months. Recurrent sciatica.
Technique: The patient receives oral contrast and 100 ml of Omnipaque 350th
RESULTS: Examination of the bases of the lungs show no significant differences between infiltrate or effusion. The liver and spleen showed no mass. No
Dilated bile ducts. The adrenal glands oneª pancreas appear normal. Kidneys
Show an improvement of symmetric without hydronephrosis, mass or stone. No retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy. There are a lot of stool in the colon. A recess in the stomach is probably a recent meal, but a bezoar is not excluded. The small intestine shows no stretching. No ascites.
Windows bone marrow showed an island probably in the right iliac wing, close to the ISG. No degenerative changes in the sacroiliac joints at the top left to right. The degenerative changes seen.
Unfortunately the CT in the abdomen did not assess the nerve roots
and MRI are needed to assess more accurately the spine. No
presacral mass seen.
Thank you for your help.

I am not a doctor, but I can understand that they are clogged, but only in the lower gastrointestinal tract. It is something visible, which may appear distorted his stomach, but it is probably a meal, but could be a "stone", which formed in his gut. They contribute to the lower back, where her spine meets the pelvis, and even worse on the right side, but CT can not say more. Everything else looks good.
