Blind Pouch Syndrome After Ileorectal Anastomosis

History
Between 1959 and 1974, the patient had suffered 4 episodes of profuse rectal bleeding requiring trans­fusion. Barium enema examination (1974) revealed diverticulosis throughout the colon. The patient resided some distance from sophisticated surgical services and this influenced the decision to operate.
Operation (11.4.1974) An elective operation was performed. Many diver­ticula were present, particularly in the transverse and left colon. There was a focus of induration in the transverse colon in relation to a diverticulum. A colectomy and a high ileorectal anastomosis (IRA) was performed (side ileum-to-end rectum). Micro­scopic examination of the diverticulum in the trans­verse colon (Figure 7.1) showed conspicuous dilated vessels.

occurred requiring transfusion. Sigmoidoscopy now revealed a stricture of the IRA in addition to ulcer­ation. A barium enema demonstrated a blind elon­gated pouch in relation to the IRA (Figure 7.2).
Operation (7.20.1984*) A large length of ileum (15cm) was found projecting from the right side of the IRA. It measured 6cm in width. The IRA and 5cm of proximal ileum were resected and a further IRA established with an end­to-end anastomosis.
Pathology
There was ulceration and stricture formation of the IRA and adjacent ileum. The mucosa at the apex of the blind loop was intensely hyperemic. Histological examination revealed nonspecific inflammation.
Follow-Up
Sigmoidoscopy 2 years and 5 months later in 1977 demonstrated a healthy IRA at 13cm. In 1981, profuse rectal bleeding occurred, and at this time sigmoidoscopy revealed ulceration of the ileum adjacent to the IRA. In 1984, further acute bleeding

Postoperative Course
The patient’s gastrointestinal recovery from the operation was slow but satisfactory. She was, however, suffering from persistent angina. Investi­gation revealed severe, inoperable coronary artery disease and poor left ventricular function. The patient suffered a fatal myocardial infarct 29 days after the operation.
Comment
This patient is another example of the blind pouch syndrome which, in contrast to Case 6, was a com­plication of a side-to-end anastomosis between
ileum and large bowel. It has more frequently been reported as a complication of ileo-colic anastomosis
1,2,3
after right hemicolectomy.
Although there was anastomotic stenosis, the symptoms were due solely to bleeding from the ulceration, which commenced 7 years after the ileorectal anastomosis. At this first operation (IRA), the closure of the terminal end of the anastomosis was adjacent to the anastomosis, proving the large blind pouch developed subse­quently. The ulceration in such a case can be resolved only by surgery. It is unfortunate that operation was not performed 3 years earlier (1981), which may have avoided the fatal consequences of her cardiovascular disease.

Acute Appendicitis: Diagnosis at Colonoscopy

History
The patient suffered recent acute pain in the right iliac fossa. Admission to hospital was necessary, and a plain x-ray of the abdomen revealed loops of dilated small bowel. A gastrograffin enema indicated deformity of the ileocecal region. The patient’s con­dition settled and he was discharged from hospital and transferred for further investigations.
Colonoscopy
Colonoscopy revealed a “beehive” shaped polypoid lesion at the base of the appendix (Figure 8.1). It appeared to be inflammatory rather than neoplastic, and appendicitis was suspected.
Operation (8.7.98) At operation, recent acute appendicitis was con­firmed with retrograde intussusception induced by a tense and distended appendix. The distal cecum with the appendix was resected.
Comment
This is a rare mode of acute appendicitis diagnosis. The smooth surface, the inflammatory changes, and the site of the lesion suggested the diagnosis.

History
The patient was examined by colonoscopy in view of a family history of colorectal cancer (mother). There were no previous or current gastrointestinal symptoms. In the base of the cecum there was a smooth hemispherical swelling covered by normal mucosa (Figure 9.1). This was diagnosed as a mucocele of the appendix by the colonoscopist. A computerized tomography (CT) examination demonstrated that the lesion was continuous with the appendix, which was dilated (Figure 9.2).
Operation (7.28.97) The findings at operation confirmed the diagnosis. The proximal appendix was significantly dilated and continuous with a palpable intracecal swelling. The distal half of the appendix was pale, reduced in caliber, and firm in consistency, suggesting fibrosis. There was no evidence of malignancy or other intra-abdominal abnormality. A limited right hemi­colectomy was performed in preference to a local excision, since an occult cystadenocarcinoma could not be excluded.
Pathology
The appendix was 60mm in length. Distally its caliber was 6mm, whereas proximally it was dilated

to 20mm. The appendix ostium was obstructed. The lumen contained clear mucoid material. Histologi­cally there were areas of both mucosal hyperplasia and atrophy. There was extravasation of mucin into the wall of the appendix (Figure 9.3). This extrava­sation was devoid of cells.

Comment
Rokitansky is credited with first description of this entity in 1842.1Woodruff and McDonald reported 146 mucoceles in over 43000 appendectomy speci­mens examined at the Mayo Clinic.2The pathology is frequently not diagnosed until laparotomy. The
first report of a colonoscopic diagnosis was by

Ponsky in 1976.
Surgical treatment is necessary to confirm the diagnosis and to prevent the complica­tion of pseudomyxoma peritonei which may follow perforation of a mucocele if the primary pathology is a cystadenoma or cystadenocarcinoma.

History
Following an “influenza type illness,” the patient complained of pain in the right sacral region. A white cell count of 19,000 returned to normal after antibiotics. A computerized tomography (CT) exam­ination of the pelvis revealed a 4.0 × 6.5 cm cystic mass, thick walled and partly calcified. The mass was intimately related to the right side of the sigmoid colon and contained multiple septations (Figure 10.1). A calculus was demonstrated in the right ureter. Examination under anesthetic revealed a mobile soft mass in the pelvis. Three small hyper­plastic polyps at 20cm were the only abnormalities seen on colonoscopy. The indirect hemagglutination test (IHA) for hydatid disease was negative.
Operation (11.4.96) A ruptured mucocele of the appendix was diagnosed, revealing a collection of green mucoid material in the pelvis. Appendectomy was performed. The ureteric calculus was removed from the lower part of the right ureter by a urological colleague.
Pathology
There was focal calcification in the wall of the cystic mass. Foci of atypical mucinous epithelium (Figure
10.2) and occasional papillary configuration were present. The appearance was consistent with a mucinous cystadenoma.

Cystadenoma: Appendix

Comment
Mucus producing pathology of the appendix is rare, and the diagnosis is not usually made prior to oper­ation.1In this patient a second radiological opinion prior to operation suggested the diagnosis was a mucocele of the appendix, in view of the calcifica­tion in the wall of the cystic mass.2Unfortunately the lesion had already ruptured at the time of laparo­tomy, thereby increasing the risk of peritoneal dis­semination. Clinical and CT examination have been normal 8 years since operation. Mucocele of the appendix is divided into 4 distinct pathological entities: (i) nonneoplastic mucocele due to luminal obstruction; (ii) mucosal hyperplasia; (iii) mucinous cystadenoma with villous adenomatous change; and (iv) malignant mucinous cystadenoma. cally there can be difficulty in distinguishing between categories (iii) and (iv). These lesions can produce a refractory mucinous ascites, which has been referred to as pseudomyxoma peritonei. Ronnet et al., in a review of 109 cases, have sug­gested subdividing this entity into disseminated peritoneal adenomucinosis (DPAM) for benign disease and peritoneal mucinous carcinomatosis (PMCA) for malignant mucinous ascites.
