What does this image shows
This image shows a colonoscopy report from Amar Hospital, Patiala.
Here is a summary of the key details:
Patient Information
- Patient: Mr. Krishan Kumar, 61-year-old Male
- Visit Date: 17-07-2026
- Consulted by: Dr. Amit Jindal
- Procedure: Flexible Full Length Colonoscopy (using Fujifilm video Colonoscope)
Findings by Region
| Region | Finding |
|---|---|
| Anal Canal | Normal anal tone |
| Rectum | Diffuse loss of vascular pattern; hyperemic, granular, and friable mucosa in distal rectum |
| Sigmoid Colon | Normal vascular pattern |
| Descending Colon | Normal vascular pattern |
| Transverse Colon | Normal vascular pattern |
| Ascending Colon | Not entered |
| Caecum | Not entered |
Note: The patient was uncooperative; the scope was advanced only up to the hepatic flexure.
Biopsy
- Taken from the Rectum
Impression (Doctor's Diagnosis)
Proctitis - ? Infective, To Rule Out IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease)
What This Means
The report suggests proctitis - inflammation limited to the rectum. The abnormal findings (friable, granular, hyperemic mucosa with loss of vascular pattern) are confined to the distal rectum, while the rest of the examined colon appears normal. The doctor is considering two possible causes:
- Infective proctitis (due to a bacterial/viral/parasitic infection)
- IBD - specifically Ulcerative Colitis (which often starts in the rectum)
The biopsy result will help distinguish between these two diagnoses.
