Relationship between severity of venous calcifications and symptoms of phlebosclerotic colitis

Figure 8 Serial computed tomography studies from 2005 to 2012. A 46-year-old male suffered from recurrent abdominal pain and severe constipation for about 10 years. A: Computed tomography (CT) study done on November 18, 2005 revealed dilated ascending colon and minimal colonic wall thickening without evidence of mesenteric venous calcification; B: CT study of the same case done on November 17, 2009 showed some linear calcifications at colonic wall. Dilated ascending colon with wall thickening was also noted; C: CT study of the same case done on January 3, 2012 showed more linear calcifications at colonic wall and mesenteric veins. The extent of colonic wall thickening was also more prominent in this study.
