Multislice Computed Tomography in the Diagnosis of Small Bowel Obstruction
TAMIR ABDUSSALAM MAHMOUD MOHARRUM;
Abstract
Purpose:
To assess and confirm the role of multislice computed tomography (MSCT) with its new applications such as reformatted images, high resolution imaging and enterography for diagnosis and its impact on management of SBO.
Materials and Methods:
40 patients were examined by CT (30 patients with high grade SBO by MSCT of the abdomen and pelvis and 10 patients with low grade SBO by MSCTE). This was done over the period of 4 years.
The age range was 14 to 93 years and 29 patients were males and 11 were females
Results:
The study revealed a very high sensitivity and specificity of the MSCT for high grade small bowel obstruction and similar results for MSCTE for low grade SBO reaching up to 100%.
Conclusion:
The MSCT and MSCTE in cases of SBO have an undeniable pivotal role in determining the course of treatment and they certainly decrease the morbidity and mortality rates caused by this illness.
