Jejunitis
Jejunitis means inflammation of the jejunum, the middle part of the small intestine.
When to get help quickly: Prompt review is important if there is severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, blood in the stool, fever, or signs of dehydration.
Common symptoms
Symptoms may include abdominal pain, diarrhoea, vomiting, bloating, fever, or poor appetite depending on the cause.
When imaging helps
Imaging helps when symptoms are significant, prolonged, or severe and doctors need to look for bowel wall inflammation, swelling, obstruction, or complications.
What radiology does
CT or MRI enterography may show bowel wall thickening, edema, or complications when symptoms are significant.
What usually happens next
Management depends on the cause and may involve infection treatment, inflammatory bowel care, or supportive treatment.
