A member asked:
First ct scan showed diverticulitis with possible fistula. second ct scan no fistula possible abscess can scan be wrong again? bowel thickening no sym

I'm afraid: that the first may have been a situation leading to the second ct scan result. the fistula has closed leaving an abscess "in its wake"......check this out ASAP with your GI doc for possible surgical referral.. Hope this helps and good luck Dr Z
