TI  - Posttraumatic intestinal stenosis: radiographic and sonographic appearance.
PG  - 524-6
AB  - We report a case of posttraumatic intestinal stenosis (PIS), an uncommon sequela 
      of blunt abdominal trauma, in which injury to the mesentery and bowel wall 
      results in later focal ischemic stricture of that segment. We include CT images 
      at the time of trauma, and barium meal and abdominal sonography obtained during 
      the subsequent admission. Examination of the resected bowel loop showed 
      transmural infarct and posttraumatic changes in the adjacent peritoneal fat. This 
      is the first report which includes both imaging at the time of trauma and 
      sonographic appearance of the narrowed bowel loop. Posttraumatic intestinal 
      stenosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a narrowed bowel 
      loop in a patient with a history of blunt abdominal trauma.
