    Hi there. I guess you are probably in the UK as it is quite common for staff to say they have spotted something but not tell you what. Quite often they pass the info to your IBD specialist for him/her to discuss it with you. In a CT scan they are looking for tissue irregularities and if you have IBD history these can be abscesses or fistulae arising from say Crohn's or diverticulitis. In my case I had some diverticular "pouches " identified on one occasion and an abscess on another some years later. I would press your IBD staff to let you know what they have found to ease your mind. If it WAS something serious you would have been told by now I am quite sure.
