Hello,

i suffer from Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome(ie. lack of tumor supression
gene),which is manifested with beningn tumors in the
brain,spine,retina,smal bowel,and carcinomas of the kidneys and
pancreas.Several months ago i developed symptoms of IBS,and they
performed endoscopies,and enteroclysis,all normal.I read that
conventional enteroclysis has pretty poor diagnostic yield,and that
multi-slice CT enteroclysis(also comes with nasojejunal intubation to
distend the small bowel)is far much better,because it can not only
depicts intraluminal changes of the bowel,but extraluminal as well.Now
they came up with the 64-slice CT's.Anyone has an opinion on this?I
would be very grateful.

Danny
P.S.BTW,i cannot have endoscopic video capsule examination since there
may be some strictures.
