	Crohn's Disease
		There is an irregular narrowing of the lumen of the ileum, possible cobblestoning (fl arrowheads), and a coned cecum (white arrowheads).
		These spot films of the terminal ileum show a fixed ileum displaced by mass or mesenteric retraction secondary to inflammatory disease.
		More advanced disease leads to extensive ulceration of the terminal ileum and the characteristic "string sign", caused by the loss of both the normal ileal features and the cobblestone pattern.

		We evaluated the neuropathological aspects of the terminal ileum in patients with slow-transit constipation to see whether abnormalities are present that may explain an abnormal motility of the small intestine.
		Specimens of the terminal ileum were obtained from 16 female patients (age range, 42-76 years) with slow-transit constipation undergoing surgery for intractable symptoms.

		Numerous (approximately 50) tan, sessile polyps (Figure 1), ranging from 0.2 to 0.7 cm in greatest dimension, were found closely clustered together in the terminal ileum and the ileal side of the ileocecal valve.
		Sections from the ileum showed the polyps to be composed of multiple closely aggregated lymphoid follicles in the lamina propria of the ileal mucosa.

		The combination of a conical cecum with a normal-appearing terminal ileum helps to rule out other entities, such as tuberculosis and Crohn's disease, in most patients, although the terminal six inches of ileum may be involved in 10% or more of patients with severe cecal amebiasis.
		In both patients, there is reflux into a normal terminal ileum which permits differentiation in most patients from Crohn's disease, tuberculosis, and other inflammatory diseases of the right colon and ileocecal area.
		Such pronounced involvement of the ileum is unusual in amebiasis, occurring in about 10% of patients with colonic amebiasis.

	World Journal of Emergency Surgery \| Full text \| Nontraumatic terminal ileal perforation
		Terminal ileal perforation should be suspected in all cases of peritonitis especially in developing countries and surgical treatment should be optimized taking various accounts like etiology, delay in surgery and operative findings into consideration to reduce the incidence of deadly complications like fecal fistula.
		Perforation of terminal ileum is a cause for obscure peritonitis, heralded by exacerbation of abdominal pain associated with tenderness, rigidity and guarding, most pronounced over right iliac fossa.
		However in the patients where the terminal ileum is grossly inflamed with multiple perforations, perforation-operation delay >48 hours, fecaloid peritonitis; something more than mere closure of perforation needs to be done and end to side ileotransverse anastomosis is a better procedure.

		In addition, the terminal ileum was dilated and showed diffuse, concentric wall thickening of its long segments with heterogeneous contrast enhancement.
		At surgery, the hepatic flexure of the ascending colon was found to be completely obstructed by a hard concentric mass, and about 15 cm of the terminal ileum, just proximal to the ileocecal valve, was markedly dilated and diffusely thickened.
		A cut section of the thickened terminal ileum revealed marked submucosal edema to a depth of approximately 10 mm, though there was no evidence of mucosal lesion.

		Finally, involvement of the terminal ileum with Crohn's disease is common.
		Additionally, involvement of the terminal ileum with disease can result in the malabsorption of the fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, K, as well as the malabsorption of vitamin B12.
		The terminal ileum is where bile acids are absorbed and when there is extensive disease in this area of bowel, there may be significant losses in bile acids into the colon.

		It typically affects the terminal ileum and well demarcated areas of large bowel with relatively normal bowel.
		Burrill Bernard Crohn, an American gastroenterologist, described fourteen cases in 1932, characterizing the disease as "Terminal ileitis: A new clinical entity"; the description was changed to "Regional ileitis" on publication.
		It is by virtue of alphabetization rather than contribution that Crohn's name appeared as first author: because this was the first time the condition was reported in a widely-read journal, and the disease has come to be known as Crohn's disease for reasons of publicity rather than precedence.

		The patient was a 13 year old male diagnosed with Crohn disease of the terminal ileum at age 8.
		Explored through a midline incision, the terminal ileum was found to be thickened in nature, firm to palpation and to have mesenteric fat wrapped around it.
		Examination of the surgical specimen revealed the terminal ileum was ulcerated with pseudopolyp formation at the stricture and had transmural inflammation with granuloma formation and ulceration.

	Histology of the Terminal Ileum in Celiac Disease
		The purpose of this study was to assess whether there were features of gluten-sensitive enteropathy in biopsies taken from the terminal ileum during colonoscopy/ileoscopy.
		Methods: Terminal ileal biopsies, taken from 30 patients with duodenal villous atrophy consistent with coeliac disease and from 60 control patients with no evidence of coeliac or inflammatory bowel disease, were reviewed blindly and compared.
		Increased IEL density in the terminal ileum is associated with duodenal VA and should prompt a search for coeliac disease by serology and duodenal biopsy.

		We describe a case of 56-year-old male presenting with small bowel obstruction arising from the metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma involving the terminal ileum.
		The stent was deployed under endoscopic and fluoroscopic guidance with the proximal end in the ileum and the distal end in the ascending colon, Figure 6, 7.
		Overall, the enteral stents are highly successful both technically and clinically in relieving the malignant gastrointestinal obstruction thus obviating the need for the surgical intervention in the terminally ill population.

	IP2/ RABBIT ISOLATED TERMINAL ILEUM
		Terminal segments of rabbit ileum retain spontaneous contractile activity when isolated and maintained in physiological solution.
		It has been suggested that the ability of compounds to inhibit this spontaneous activity may be related to their irritant effect, thus the preparation may provide an alternative means of assessing likely potency of irritants in the eye in the in vivo situation.
		Sections of terminal rabbit ileum are removed, suspended in an organ bath and the spontaneous contractile activity monitored.

		Initially, efforts were aimed at either bringing the ureters to the skin or diverting the urine to the sigmoid colon to benefit from continence provided by the anal sphincter.[16,17] Prior to the 1950s, the use of the anal sphincter for continence established ureterosigmoidostomy as the urinary diversion of choice.
		It is highly conserved by active uptake at the terminal ileum and is returned to the liver by the enterohepatic circulation.
		A loss of 50 cm of terminal ileum appears to be the critical margin for sufficient vitamin B12 absorption.
