Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history related to your daughter who is admitted in the hospital for pain in abdomen and the Gynecologist, Gastroenterologist and the Surgeon have said that the problem is not related to their specialty.
CT scan shows aggravation where the small and large bowel meet.
The most probable diagnosis is an inflammatory lesion at the ileo-caecal region and can be due to Tuberculosis and so on.
Colonoscopy and biopsy can help to get an appropriate diagnosis.
Second opinion of another Gastro Surgeon would help.
A diagnostic Laparoscopy and biopsy can further helps as is the barium studies too.
I find this answer helpful
