    Notes: Abstract. We report a case in which blunt abdominal trauma resulted in injury to the mesentery with subsequent ischemic stricture of the adjacent small bowel. We present CT images at the time of trauma and 5 weeks later when clinical signs of intestinal obstruction occurred. We include images of enteroclysis and angiography of this uncommon sequela of blunt abdominal trauma. At surgery, a stenotic small bowel loop was found adjacent to a healed defect in the mesentery. Histological examination of the resected segment showed mucosal and submucosal ischemia with mucosal ulceration, mural inflammation, and fibrosis. Posttraumatic intestinal stenosis subsequent to a mesenteric tear should be included in the differential diagnosis in a patient with a history of blunt abdominal trauma and signs of intestinal obstruction.

    The value of MRI in the diagnosis of postoperative spondylodiscitis (2000)

    Notes: Abstract We evaluated the role of MRI in the diagnosis of postoperative spondylodiscitis. Spondylodiscitis is a serious complication of surgery, and the diagnosis frequently depends on a combination of clinical, laboratory and imaging findings. We compared the MRI findings in six patients with biopsy- or surgery-proven spondylodiscitis with those in 38 asymptomatic postoperative patients. Contrast enhancement and signal changes in the intervertebral disc or the vertebral endplates are not specific for spondylodiscitis, being also seen in the asymptomatic patients. However, absence of Modic type 1 changes, of contrast enhancement of the disc or of enhancing paravertebral soft tissues suggests that the patient does not have spondylodiscitis. MRI appears more useful for exclusion than for confirmation of postoperative spondylodiscitis.
