    Paralysis of the small bowel resembling mechanical intestinal obstruction (1980)
    Springer
    Abdominal imaging 5 (1980), S. 161-167 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-0509
    Keywords: Abdomen, acute conditions ; Intestine, ileus

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Abstract In some instances, particularly in the neonate, paralytic ileus affects predominantly the small bowel, thus resembling intestinal obstruction. Localized paralysis of the small bowel occurs secondary to regional events in a segment of gut and resembles mechanical obstruction even more closely. In localized paralysis the bowel lumen is usually dilated without abrupt distal transition to collapsed intestines. If there is radiographic and clinical recognition of localized, transitory bowel paralysis, surgery is usually unnecessary.

    Epiglottic enlargement following radiation treatment of head and neck tumors (1981)
    Springer
    Pediatric radiology 10 (1981), S. 165-168

    ISSN: 1432-1998

    Notes: Abstract This article describes delayed noninfectious epiglottic enlargement in two children, one with rhabdomyosarcoma of nasopharynx and the other with undifferentiated anaplastic carcinoma of the neck. The pathogenesis is assumed to be delayed laryngeal injury following radiotherapy alone or combined with chemotherapy. The radiographic findings in these cases were identical to those of acute epiglottitis.

    Analysis of bowel perforation in necrotizing enterocolitis (1987)
    Springer
    Pediatric radiology 17 (1987), S. 380-382 
    Details

    Notes: Abstract The most severe complication of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is bowel perforation. Identification of neonates at high risk for perforation and optimization of radiologic imaging to identify bowel perforation are necessary to reduce the high mortality rate associated with this catastrophic event. One hundred and fifty-five cases of NEC were seen at our institution during a 5.5 year period. Nineteen (12%) progressed to perforation. A review of surgical findings, autopsy results and radiographs from these patients shows only 63% had radiographic evidence of free air in the peritoneal cavity at the time of perforation. Twenty-one percent had radiographic evidence of ascites but no pneumoperitoneum, and 16% had neither free air nor ascites. Thus purely radiographic criteria for bowel perforation in NEC are imprecise, and paracentesis is mandatory in NEC patients with ascites or clinical findings indicative of peritonitis. Timing of radiographic studies and site of bowel involvement are also important. Seventy-nine percent of perforations occurred by 30 h from confirmation of diagnosis (by clinical or radiographic criteria). Surgery or autopsy revealed involvement of the ileo-cecal region in 89% of cases with the actual site of perforation occurring in this area in 58% of patients.

    Contrast enema diagnosis of necrotizing enterocolitis (1992)
    Springer
    Pediatric radiology 22 (1992), S. 115-117 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-1998
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Abstract Contrast enema was performed in a select group of 126 neonates with ambiguous diagnosis of necrotizing enterolcolitis (NEC). Enema findings were compared with that on plain abdominal radiographs (AXR) and the clinical outcome. Thirty-one of the 34 patients with a discharge diagnosis of NEC were interpreted to have a positive contrast enema, and 91 of the 92 patients without a discharge diagnosis of NEC were interpreted to have a negative contrast enema. The AXR was interpreted as positive in 57 patients and as negative or indeterminate in 69. Not a single case of perforation was produced. Judicious use of contrast enema can improve specificity of diagnosis in cases with discordant clinical and plain radiographic findings.
