lüll Evaluation of bowel and mesenteric blunt trauma with multidetector CT Brofman N; Atri M; Hanson JM; Grinblat L; Chughtai T; Brenneman FRadiographics 2006[Jul]; 26 (4): 1119-31Bowel and mesenteric injuries are detected in 5% of blunt abdominal trauma patients at laparotomy. Computed tomography (CT) has been shown to be accurate for the diagnosis of bowel and mesenteric injuries and is the diagnostic test of choice in the evaluation of blunt abdominal trauma in hemodynamically stable patients. Specific CT findings of bowel and mesenteric injuries include bowel wall defect, intraperitoneal and mesenteric air, intraperitoneal extraluminal contrast material, extravasation of contrast material from mesenteric vessels, and evidence of bowel infarct. Specific signs of mesenteric injury are vascular beading and abrupt termination of mesenteric vessels. Less specific signs of bowel and mesenteric injuries include focal bowel wall thickening, mesenteric fat stranding with focal fluid and hematoma, and intraperitoneal or retroperitoneal fluid. When only nonspecific signs of bowel and mesenteric injuries are seen on CT images, correlation of CT features with clinical findings is necessary. A repeat CT examination after 6-8 hours if the patient's condition is stable may help determine the significance of these nonspecific findings.|Abdominal Injuries/diagnostic imaging[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Intestines/*diagnostic imaging/*injuries[MESH]|Mesentery/*diagnostic imaging/*injuries[MESH]|Multiple Trauma/*diagnostic imaging[MESH]|Practice Guidelines as Topic[MESH]|Practice Patterns, Physicians'[MESH]|Radiographic Image Enhancement/instrumentation/methods[MESH]|Tomography, X-Ray Computed/instrumentation/*methods[MESH]|Transducers[MESH]|Wounds, Nonpenetrating/*diagnostic imaging[MESH] |
