01/01/2007 - "In medical practice, the colonic diverticulitis diagnosis is easy, based especially on a barium enema and an inferior digestive endoscopy, but the diverticulitis complications, especially metastatic infections, raise serious positive and differential diagnosis problems. "

05/29/1993 - "This prospective study focuses on the prediction of late outcome after acute left colonic diverticulitis successfully treated conservatively and in which the diagnosis was confirmed radiologically (computed tomography [CT] and gastrografin enema [GE]). "
06/01/1981 - "We report a unique case of colonic diverticulitis complicated by colovenous fistulization with Gastrografin enema examination demonstrating thrombus in the inferior mesenteric vein."

07/01/2005 - "Colonic diverticulitis can present as mild abdominal discomfort or as life-threatening septic shock and can also mimic many inflammatory conditions. "

03/01/2014 - "The molecular pattern of basic fibroblastic growth factor (bFGF) and syndecan 1 (SD1) expression is altered in stenosing CD, but their expression in resected complicated colonic diverticulitis (ACD) is unknown. "

05/01/2002 - "The aim of this study was to compare the performance of the CT and the water-soluble contrast enema (CE) in the diagnosis and the severity of acute left-colonic diverticulitis, and to recognize the impact of CT during the acute phase and after a first acute episode successfully treated medically. "
