“…For this purpose, we used a recently proposed technique (SICUS), which has been reported to improve the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonographic investigation of the small bowel. [3][4][5][6]17,18 In addition, SICUS clearly showed the marked difference in Kerckring's fold and peristaltic wave numbers between celiac patients and control group. 15,16 In 1999, Rettenbacher et al identified nine echographic parameters suggestive of celiac disease and expressed three of them (ie, transverse diameter of small bowel loops, thickness of intestinal wall, and diameter of mesenteric lymph nodes) with numerical values suggestive of a normal or pathologic picture.…”

“…Most studies of differences in velocities and resistive index between the fasting state and the postprandial state were conducted in patients with cirrhosis of the liver or inflammatory diseases (19). However, blunting of fasting-postprandial differences in peak systolic velocity has been reported in patients with visceral artery stenosis (20).…”

Chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) is rare and is often diagnosed late. Fatal malabsorption-related complications or acute ischemic events occur in the absence of treatment. Diagnosis depends on careful acquisition of a medical history and elimination of other conditions. No sensitive and specific tests are available for functional diagnosis of CMI. If other causes of abdominal pain and weight loss have been confidently ruled out, evidence of visceral artery occlusion at noninvasive imaging (Doppler ultrasonography, computed tomographic angiography, and magnetic resonance angiography) suggests CMI. Until the 1990s, open surgery was considered the treatment of choice; percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) was reserved for patients for whom surgery carried a high risk. However, open surgery carries a nonnegligible risk of morbidity and mortality. In recent years, PTA with stent placement has been recognized as a minimally invasive means of obtaining good long-term results with an acceptable recurrence rate and consequently has been suggested for primary treatment of CMI. New treatments including administration of fibrinolytic agents before PTA of chronic occlusions, routine revascularization of one or more arteries, and stent placement will probably be validated in the near future. Similarly, new data on selection of the best approach will become available soon.

“…Moderately enlarged lymph nodes can be delineated [65]. The mesenteric vessels can be dilated and vascularization of the bowel wall is at least pronounced, or definitive hypervascularization is present [66]. A steatosis hepatis in thin patients can be a hint for malabsorption.…”

Transabdominal sonography of the gastrointestinal tract

et al. 2001

Like other cross-sectional imaging methods, transabdominal sonography is increasingly used for evaluation of gastrointestinal diseases. The potentials and limitations of sonography in evaluation of the gastrointestinal tract are discussed. Transabdominal sonography proved to be of clinical value in assessment of appendicitis, diverticulitis, bowel obstruction, chronic inflammatory bowel diseases, intussusception and infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. The sonographic morphology of the most common gastrointestinal diseases is discussed. In experienced hands sonography can be used as primary imaging in several gastrointestinal diseases. The gastrointestinal tract should be included in the sonographic examination of the abdomen, especially if symptoms could be related to the intestine.
