“…Our results revealed that multi-slice CT angiography combined with enterography has a high diagnostic accuracy in identification of the cause and location of SBO as well as identification of the ischaemic SBO. Good diagnostic performance of multi-slice CT angiography and enterography has been verified in identifying small bowel diseases in several primary studies, [22][23][24] which in our study was also confirmed with a high diagnostic accuracy, 94.7% and 98.2%, for aetiology and location of obstruction respectively. The location of small intestine obstruction by multi-slice CT angiography and enterography is based on the morphological and anatomical characteristics of the intestines, the relative length of the dilated and narrowed bowel segment, and the transition zone.…”

“…Neoplasms are usually short, asymmetric, and they tend to have a chronic onset. In contrast, non-neoplastic smallbowel wall thickening is usually long, uniform, and circumferential, with either an acute onset or a chronic onset [6] .…”

“…CT-scan has become an almost unavoidable examination in the evaluation of patients with suspected hail obstruction. It answers the questions of the presence of an occlusion, its location, its cause and the severity of the attack with a sensitivity of 90 to 96% and a specificity of 96% [9,10]. This examination indicates in the first place the presence of dilated proximal loops and loops of normal diameter or collabées.…”
