Acute small bowel ischemia is an important clinical entity with significant morbidity and mortality. Since the clinical presentation is often nonspecific, abdominal computed tomography (CT) is frequently obtained for the evaluation of patients with equivocal or unsuspected intestinal ischemia. In this ...
Small bowel ischemia and infarction! Intestinal ischemia occur when blood flow to the bowel or gastrointestinal system (intestines) is decreased because of a blood vessel blockage. The three major...
The CT features of intestinal ischemia were divided into three groups: (A) thinned bowel wall with poor enhancement, intramural gas, or portal venous gas; (B) thickened SB wall without superior mesenteric vein thrombosis; and (C) thickened SB wall with superior mesenteric vein thrombosis or ...

Addition of intravenous contrast does not significantly alter CT sensitivity or specificity for the diagnosis of small bowel obstruction [4]. However, intravenous contrast can provide clues to the presence of bowel ischemia. While some small bowel obstructions can be managed conservatively with bowel ...

The small-bowel feces sign was more frequently seen in cases of SBO from matted adhesions (p = 0.014). Bowel ischemia and bowel necrosis were more frequent findings with adhesive bands than with matted adhesions (p = 0.011 and p = 0.049, respectively). The location in the pelvis of the ...
bowel ischemia has been evaluated in only a few cases.5,13,15A syndrome of diarrhea, hypoproteinemia, and malabsorption has been observed in these cases, but this needs further documentation. Second, limited lesions in which mucosal integrity is impaired are difficult to diagnose if the bowel ...
