- Abstract
- Objective : The aim of our study was to assess the value of sonography in the diagnosis of acute intestinal occlusion. Material and Methods : Sonographic findings were reviewed in 50 cases of intestinal occlusion (39 small bowel and 11 colonic occlusions). The final diagnosis was based on surgical findings (n = 40) or clinical course and further imaging findings (n = 10). Results : Occlusion was correctly detected with sonography in 48 cases (96%). The location was correctly established with sonography in 43 cases (86%). The precise cause was suggested with sonography in 21 cases (42%). Commentary : These results confirm the value of sonography for the diagnosis of intestinal occlusion and the identification of its level and its cause.
