The role of coloscopy in the differential diagnosis between idiopathic ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease of the colon.

The authors point out the striking significance of coloscopy in establishing a correct diagnosis of inflammatory diseases of the colon. In particular, the most valuable endoscopic features are indicated which may permit distinguishing between idiopathic ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease of the colon. Differentiation between these two diseases cannot always be achieved by means of available diagnostic procedures other than coloscopy. Moreover, the endoscopic findings enable an assessment to be made of the extent, stage, severity and course of either disease. The authors' experience encompass 2,478 coloscopy examinations: the observed cases of idiopathic ulcerative colitis are 182, those of Crohn's disease of the colon are 104.

[Pancreatic cysts].

True and pseudo-cysts of the pancreas are described and their aetiology, pathology, laboratory tests, radiological examination, differential diagnosis, symptomatology and surgical management are illustrated. A series of 22 cases of pancreatic cyst is presented. Surgical management consisted of 14 cystogastrostomies, 3 cystoduodenostomies, 2 resections of the tail of the pancreas, 1 internal drainage between the fistular segment of the gland and the gastric cavity, and 2 external drainages with a Pezzer tube. It is felt that internal drainage is the operation of choice. Of the surgical techniques available, a preference is expressed for cystogastrostomy and cystoduodenostomy.
