Role of colonoscopy in diagnosis of capecitabine associated ileitis: Two case reports

Figure 1 Abdominal computed tomography findings of enteritis. A: Axial computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen demonstration vasa recta engorgement and mesenteric edema (arrows); B: Coronal CT of the abdomen with “comb sign” demonstrating vasa recta engorgement and mesenteric edema (arrows).

Figure 2 Colonoscopy and ileoscopy findings for case 1. A, B: For our first case, colonoscopy shows granular erythematous mucosa of the ascending colon (A and B) distal to the ileocolonic anastomosis; C, D: On ileoscopy, evidence of ulceration can be seen in the distal ileum (C and D).

Figure 3 Colonoscopy and ileoscopy findings case 2. For our second case, the ileum was noted to be severely granular and friable, with ulceration seen throughout.
