"The clinical presentation is non-specific with abdominal pain, vomiting, bloody diarrhoea and steatorrhoea. Patients with chronic radiation enteritis may develop deficiencies of calcium, iron and vitamin B12 deficiency."
"In the acute phase, radiation affects the bowel mucosa, causing cell death with ulceration. It also causes inflammation with mucosal and submucosal oedema. In the subacute and chronic phases, healing and fibrosis occur. Additionally, radiation induces endarteritis obliterans, which results in a state of chronic mesenteric ischaemia leading to bowel strictures."
