Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
In the acute obstructive syndrome, beyond the evaluation of the morphologic findings of the intestine (e.g. dilation, air-fluid level, whirl sign, transition point), it is important to consider the pathophysiology of the bowel wall in order to better estimate the status of viability, the degree of the obstruction and the presence of the intestinal ischemic complications or infarction: the intestine is a dynamic system and the same pathological condition can appear in different forms, depending on the stage of disease. MDCT examination could be of help in differentiating various type and degree of disease of the intestinal ischemia correlated to obstruction. |
