[Clinico-roentgenological symptoms of acute adhesive intestinal obstruction].

The clinico-roentgenological signs of acute commissural ileus were analysed in 226 patients. Of them, 192 were operated on. In 6.4% of the patients in plain roentgenography, the signs of acute ileus were absent, in 27.7%--they were not prominent. Study of the barium suspension passage through the small intestine, as the authors consider, is indicated in unmarked clinical features of the disease, and as well in its short duration (less than 6 h) with the aim of establishing a degree of ileus (complete, or partial).
