Angiographic diagnosis of intrinsic duodenal inflammatory disease.
Duodenal tumors are rare but duodenal inflammatory disease occurs frequently. In most cases it can be accurately diagnosed without angiography but in the occasional case that presents a diagnostic problem, angiography is required. Seven cases of duodenal inflammatory disease are reviewed. Careful attention to the shape and direction of vascular displacement and to separate evaluation of pancreatic and duodenal arteries accurately distinguished duodenal from pancreatic disease. This distinction can significantly influence subsequent therapy.
