Brief Answer:
Resolution of duodenal/pancreas inflammation
Detailed Answer:
Hello, I'm Dr. Branch, thanks for using Ask a Doctor. The CT scan report that you have given indicates that there was a previous CT scan done which showed inflammation of a part of the small bowel called the duodenum, as well as some possible inflammation of part of the pancreas. The possible causes of inflammation of the duodenum are many, including peptic ulcer disease, H. pylori infection, medications such as pain killers like Ibuprofen, alcohol, and sometimes inflammatory bowel disease. The causes of pancreatitis also include alcohol, gallstones, and medications.
This current CT has shown the inflammation has resolved and now looks normal.
If you would like to tell me more about your history, when the previous CT scan was done, and what your symptoms have been, I would be glad to answer any other specific questions you might have.
