Abstract
Ileo-cecal valve dysfunction is one of the gastrointestinal tract motility disorders,that presents by various manifestations such as right side pelvic pain,low-back pain, nausea, vomiting, indigestion, bloating, bowel disturbances (diarrhea/constipation), headache and dizziness.
A total of 122 patients were included in the study and were assigned to the following groups:
Group I: Bleeding per rectum patients (53).
Group II: Altered bowel habits patients (20).
Group III: Abdominal pain or colic patients (21).
Group IV: Various presentation patients (28).
The patients were subjected to:
? History taking and clinical examination.
?Routine laboratory investigations including complete blood count,liver function test,kidney function test,lipid profile and stool analysis.
? Pelvi-abdominal ultrasound.
? Total colonoscopy.
? Terminal ileal biopsy examination.
The results were as follows:
• The successful percentage of the ICV cannulation was 36.9% versus failure percentage 63.1%.
• No significant relations were found between ICV cannulation and patient`s ages and sex.
• Among successful ICV cannulation patients, the percentage of ICV competency was 55.6% versus competent percentage 44.4%.
• Regarding ICV competency, we found that there was a significant relation between patient`s ages and ICV competency, while there were no significant relations as regards patients sex and duration of disease.
• No significant relations were found between ICV competency and associated diseases nor patient`s presentation.
