The aim of this paper is to describe the usefulness of multiparametric US in the diagnosis and subsequent follow-up of a
case of right-side ischemic colitis and to present a review of the data reported in the literature. Ischemic colitis is frequently diagnosed in the field of gastroenterology. Diagnosis is usually based on the outcome of endoscopy and histological examination, and in
case of right-side ischemic colitis also on the results of contrast-enhanced CT. In the described
case, multiparametric US indicated the diagnosis including a prognostic judgment, and during follow-up US-monitored patency of the stents positioned under angiographic guidance. One of the available US techniques, CEUS, seems to have a special role in the detection of residual vascularization of the gastrointestinal tract affected by ischemia. However, before introducing this method into daily clinical practice, further studies are required to confirm its diagnostic accuracy.
