    • Enteroclazis: Contrast infusion to detect tumors or bleeding.
    • CT & PET: Detect tumors and metastasis.
    • Endoscopy: Examines small intestine, no biopsy.
    • Arteriography: For intestinal bleeding.
    • Ultrasound & NMR: Diagnostic tools, less common for small bowel.
    • Laparoscopy: Surgical diagnostic tool.

    Small Bowel Diverticula

    • Small pouch-like wall extensions; congenital (young) or acquired (older).

    Meckel's Diverticulum

    • Embryonic remnant in the ileum, often asymptomatic.
    • Complications: pain, hemorrhage, inflammation, obstruction.

    Crohn's Disease

    • Granulomatous inflammation, often in the terminal ileum.
    • Epidemiology: Most common small bowel disorder, affects young adults.
    • Complications: Occlusion, perforation, abscess, fistulas.
    • Treatment: Symptomatic treatment, surgery for complications.
    • Prognosis: Poor due to complications.

    Intestinal Tuberculosis

    • Caused by tuberculous infection, common in immunocompromised.
    • Signs: Weight loss, fever, diarrhea.
    • Treatment: Tuberculostatic drugs, surgery for complications.

    Small Bowel Tumors

    • Benign: Adenomas, leiomyomas, fibroids, lipomas.
    • Malignant: Adenocarcinomas, lymphomas, sarcomas.
    • Carcinoid tumors: Neuroendocrine, release serotonin, cause carcinoid syndrome.
    • Diagnosis: Imaging, endoscopy, biopsy.
    • Treatment: Surgery, chemotherapy for advanced cases.

    Prognosis

    • Early detection improves prognosis; complications lead to worse outcomes.
