PURPOSE: To describe and update stercoral colitis clinical risk factors, relative frequency, location, and CT imaging features correlated with surgical and pathological results.
METHODS: CT reports over a 5-year period (05/2017-05/2022) at a single medical center were searched. Main inclusion criteria were luminal distention with formed stool, wall thickening, and surrounding inflammation. Positive cases were graded as mild (early or developing stercoral colitis) versus moderate-to-severe based on CT findings. Medical records were reviewed for risk factors and outcome data in moderate-to-severe cases. P-values were tabulated for comparison.
RESULTS: 545 total cases (71 (60, 82) years, 278 males) were identified on CT, including 452 mild (82.9%) and 93 moderate-to-severe cases (17%, 67 (55, 79) years, 48 females). Twenty cases showed evidence of perforation (3.7% total cohort, 22% moderate-to-severe cohort). Diagnosis as an incidental finding was frequent (46.0% of mild cases). Most cases involved the rectum (97.6% of mild cohort and 69% of moderate-to-severe cohort). The sigmoid was involved in 31% of moderate-to-severe cases, but 95% of the perforated subcohort (19/20, 13/20 without rectal involvement). Among the moderate-to-severe cohort, perforation was associated with slightly increased wall thickness (6.4 vs. 5.7 mm, p = 0.03), opioid use (50 vs. 23%, p = 0.04), and disease-specific mortality (11 vs. 0%, p =0.04). Perforation was less associated with major neurocognitive disorders (20 vs. 60%, p = 0.003), institutionalized status (5 vs. 38%, p = 0.005), and a prescribed bowel regimen (30 vs. 63%, p = 0.01).
CONCLUSION: Stercoral colitis may be under-reported. Perforation tends to favor sigmoid involvement and a less traditional patient cohort.
