  • Look Inside

 The occurrence of colonic diverticulum was thought to be relatively low in Japan. But according to recent statistics, its rate of occurrence has been reported as approximately 10% and thus, colonic diverticulum has become a common disease. However, its pathogenesis and characteristics are not yet sufficiently elucidated. The reason being that although much histological and pathological researches are conducted, references from the point of motor function are in slow progress due to the anatomical peculiarity of the colon.

 Recently, measurement of colonic intraluminal pressure using the endoscopic method has been devised and measurement of the intraluminal pressure on the deep colon has been made possible. Adopting this method, we have studied the colonic intraluminal pressure patterns of IBS patients. In addition, a study of the comparison of the intraluminal pressure curve of IBS patients and diverticula patients was made. Because there are a few case reports, our findings can only be inferences. But nevertheless, the intraluminal pressure curve indicates that in those sections with subjective symptons and where diverticulum exists, increase in the intraluminal pressure and also abnormal pattern are observed. In the area with no indication of the development of the disease, the curve was close to that of normal intraluminal pressure.

 Studying these data and also reports indicating the appearance of diverticulum in a long range period observation of IBS patients, it can be inferred that IBS may develop into diverticulum. In the future, researches in characteristics and causes of colonic diverticulum will be enhanced by approaching it from the view of its function and also through histological study.
