![]() The data obtained were subjected to variational statistical processing, the mean value (M), standard error (m) and the significance of differences according to Student's t-test were defined. They were exposed to 16- slice computed tomography followed by analysis specifying distances between the ascending and descending colons and the median sagittal plane. ![]() All human subjects were divided into 4 age groups: the period of early childhood, the period of the first childhood, the period of the second childhood, adolescence. The study included computed tomography scans of the abdomen of 75 children without visible pathology of the abdominal organs. Where vascular obstruction develops, when the condition is left untreated or volvulus occurs → rapid progression → severe pain, and even death, can result in hours.The aim of the study was to specify the age and gender features of the ascending and descending colon location in children and adolescents based on computed tomography scans.Mild cases that consist of little more than partial displacement causing incomplete luminal obstruction may be asymptomatic, or cause low grade pain for days, and may even resolve spontaneously.Depends on degree of displacement, and where the pelvic flexure is located at a given time (as it likely moves and changes position throughout progression of the case).Secondary increases in packed cell volume (PCV Blood: packed cell volume (PCV)) and plasma proteins (TPP Blood: biochemistry - total protein) may be seen, and metabolic acidosis can occur causing tachypnea.Endotoxins and bacteria leak into the bloodstream and peritoneal cavity → damage to epithelial cells and platelets (uncommon with displacement of pelvic flexure).Protein rich fluid leaks into the gut lumen and the peritoneal cavity.Intraluminal distension → progressive ischemia and disruption of the mucosal layers → necrosis and cell sloughing.Progressive arterial obstruction → cyanosis and ischemia → gut spasm → proximal distension of bowel with gas and fluid.Lost circulating blood volume, due to impaired venous drainage → swelling, edema, and congestion → hypovolemia.Progressive vascular occlusion if condition is not treated (if a volvulus develops) →.Mild dehydration while fluid can be reabsorbed in cecum → more severe when complete obstruction forms. ![]()
